CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM BOEING MODEL 720B PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA FLYING EXPERIMENTAL TEST BED REGISTRATION C-FETB Introduction The practical era of jet-age passenger transport aircraft officially dawned when the British de Havilland Company D.H.106 Comet made its premiere flight to great acclaim from the Hatfield, Hertfordshire aerodrome in England on 27 July 1949. Catering to British and mid to long-range routes to European, Middle Eastern and overseas destinations, the Comet series of airliners carried their passengers aloft in luxurious opulence for more than twenty years. Military and test derivatives followed suit and these continued flying for many decades, including two Comets for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Just 14 days later, across the vast Atlantic Ocean, in the small town of Malton, Ontario, Canada, a new aviation company called Avro Canada successfully accomplished the same task with much less fanfare and accolades. Avro sent its small, medium-range, turbo-jet transport, called the C-102 Jetliner, aloft for its first flight, inaugurating the dreamed potential for such a unique travel experience for the public on the North American continent. United States Air Force personnel found the aircraft favourable when they tried it out on flights at Wright Field, Ohio in March 1951. However, this Canadian dream didn’t last for long. The modestly successful Comet-series didn’t shine as brightly as its popular name when a series of tragic, fatal accidents to production civil aircraft nearly snuffed out its very existence. Following design rectification’s, the Royal Air Force continued to employ Comets in versatile roles, such as modifying the design into the Nimrod. -

Canadian views impacted the selection of the Freedom Fighter, H airmen, in particular, have few good things to say rather than upon the selection process itself. Moreover, about him. In addition to being responsible for ending the CF-5 selection needs to be placed within the the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as an independent context of the Canadian nuclear strategy of the day, service, Hellyer’s role in convincing his government and how it was influenced by the RCAF’s acknowledged to select the Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter jet fighter strike role in Europe. Hellyer rejected this role, distrusted and to kill the nuclear strike role in Canada’s overseas his airmen, and was driven by a policy that provided NATO Air Division was, as viewed by most airmen, the country with an offensive air power capability that unforgivable. This article will present an assessment supported foreign policy options, other than those of Hellyer’s motivation in recommending an aircraft conducted in support of NATO, and what was then North that was clearly unpopular to most airmen, and one limited American Air Defence Command (NORAD). In short, to a conventional role at a time when the Liberal Party the CF-5 story is part of the larger one of Canadian had endorsed the use of tactical nuclear weapons for air power in the Cold War, and its linkage to government both the RCAF and the Canadian Army in Europe, and defence policy. -

CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT AVRO CANADA CF-105 ARROW RCAF SERIAL 25206 (NOSE SECTION & COMPONENTS ONLY) Introduction The CF-105 Arrow was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft, designed and built by A.V. Roe (Avro) Canada as the culmination of a series of design studies that originally began in 1953. The Arrow is considered by many to have been one of the most advanced technological achievements by the Canadian aviation industry. The CF-105 design was capable of near-Mach 2 speeds at altitudes in excess of 15,250 meters (50,000 feet) and it was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) primary interceptor in the 1960s and beyond. However, in February 1959, in the midst of its flight test program, the development of the CF-105 Arrow (including all of its associated programs, such as the Orenda Iroquois jet engines, Astra fire control system and missile armament systems) was abruptly cancelled before a scheduled final project review had taken place, sparking an intense and often bitter political debate. The controversy engendered by this cancellation, and the subsequent destruction of all of aircraft then in production, still remains a topic for debate amongst historians, politicians, authors and aircraft enthusiasts. This decision not only resulted in the termination of the aircraft program but also led to the demise of Avro Canada. Background Prior to 1939, as “war clouds” loomed on the horizon, the Canadian government encouraged a number of "shadow factories" to be set up in order to produce British aircraft designs in relative safety. -

CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT AVRO CANADA CF-100 MARK 5D Introduction The Avro Canada CF-100 was an all weather fighter nicknamed the Canuck; compatriot Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) F-86 Sabre pilots good-naturedly called it the “Clunk” or the “Lead Sled” compared to their own lighter mounts. It was the first jet fighter completely designed and built in Canada. While Canada had manufactured over 16,000 aircraft for military needs before and during the Second World War, almost all were of British or American design and built under license. Due to Canada’s small population size and relatively small tax base, Canada was somewhat dependent upon foreign governments towards obtaining aircraft to meet Canadian requirements. The CF-100 was the earliest aircraft designed and built specifically for Canadian military needs during the turbulent Cold War era. This monograph describes several aspects of the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck in four parts as follows: Part 1. CF–100 Design History and Development; Part 2. Aircraft Weapons and Systems; Part 3. CF–100 Operational Squadrons and Employment; and Part 4. The Museum Exhibit History.1 CF-100 serial number 100785, on the final flight of a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Canuck, is seen over Ottawa just prior to touching down at the National Aviation Museum.

Originally manufactured by Canadair Ltd in 1954 as a Sabre 5, it served for 16 years in the RCAF under tribute to the serial number 23314 prior to being demilitarized and sold to private civilian interests in the United States. It was purchased and repatriated to Canada in September 2007 by Vintage Wings of Canada for the express purpose of restoring the aircraft in the colours of the RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team in order to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of powered flight in Canada in 2009. -

During this critical Cold War period, the RCAF became Canada’s first line of defence, making an essential contribution to the collective defence of Western Europe through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Concurrently, the RCAF underwent tremendous expansion in Canada contributing to North American defence, along with significant increases in its training, maritime and transport capabilities. -
