I agree with losthellhound... The French wanted the engines for their Mirage... If the Arrow, and more importantly Avro, had been allowed to flourish they would have been a big player in the world of advanced aviation...
But here's a question... it that what we want? Do we wish Canada had been the builder of some of the best war machines ever? I'm torn. On one hand the scientist in me wants to achieve greatness... space travel, supersonic speeds, etc. But the humanitarian in me wouldn't be proud that we created something that was "the best" at warfare...
