I would like to read a book about various forgotten Canadian projects: later versions of Avro CF-100 Canuck, Avro Jetliner, Avro Arrow, Gregor FDB-1 biplane, Fairchild Husky, Fairchild Sekani, Fleet Fort, Fleet Freighter, a handful of helicopters, etc.

Instead of just glorifying technical aspects, it is important to understand the bigger economic and political perspectives that forced cancellation of these promising projects.

I thought about writing a book about failed/delayed Canadian Defense purchases (MCHS Brador, Bobcat APC, Sea King replacement, etc.) but found the concept too depressing.

It looks like Justo Miranda will cover most of the Avro flying saucer concepts in his next book.
