3. The Avro Program

A Canadian I worked with some years ago loaned me a book about this called Arrows to the Moon. The book details the background and amazing accomplishments of the Avro folks as well as how the program became a victim of the US military industrial complex. The Avro Engineers went on to lead the US space program. What I found revealing is how the Avro folks were educated in all aspects of product development while getting their Engineering degrees. They learned how to match imagination to reality. I highly recommend the book.
