Part 3, Avro Jetliner & Arrow "Too Good to be True"

This documentary program aired on TV Ontario under the title of Too Good to be True. It's the story of Avro Canada's Jetliner, the Avro Arrow supersonic fighter, and the designer Jim Floyd. The narrator of the introduction is Elwy Yost, a fixture for many years as host of TVO's Saturday Night at the Movies, and besides being a movie buff, he also worked at Avro for several years in Human Resources. He was one of the last employees after "Black Friday" in 1959 when the Arrow project was cancelled, and the company went under.
