Don Connolly's impressive rendition of "what could have been" portrays the massive Arrow demonstrating her awesome power. With unmatched thrust and sophistication of design, she was at least 20 years ahead of her time. These qualities are captured in this stunning reproduction. The small size and vertical format have been deliberately chosen to compliment the other larger prints in this "Arrow Trio", and to provide a print suitable for a setting where space is limited. Regretfully, it will take many Canadians a long time to recover from the disappointment caused by the cancellation of the Arrow program on "Black Friday", Feb. 20, 1959. But rather than dwelling on the wisdom or justice of decisions taken over 30 years ago, we would prefer to celebrate the aircraft for what it was: a magnificent example of engineering achievement of which we can be proud. This trio of limited edition prints is our means of recognizing this great aircraft and the people who created it.
