The Canadair Argus CL-28 CP-107
Published by Bryler Publications Inc., Chester NS, 2011
Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Canadair Argus CL-28 CP-107: The Untold Story of Canada s Cold War Maritime Hunter; compiled by Majer (Retired) Cary Baker MSM, CD and Major (Retired) Bert Campbell CD; foreword by Major-General (Retired) Ian Patrick CD; artwork by Captain Rob Arsenault CD and Adam Murray; Bryler Publications Inc., Chester, Nova Scotia, 2011. First printing. From the foreword With the dawn of the Aurora in 1980, a major icon of Canadian military history disappeared as if it had never been there despite its invaluable 25-year existence. Tired and worn, fuelled by alternate 100 octane gasoline instead of its required, but no-longer-available, 115 octane and with sensors in need od updating, the venerable Argus aircraft s final humiliation was being chopped up and melted to its base aluminum at Summerside, PEO a base that also ceased to exist with the passing of the Argus. A very large aircraft, the Canadair CL-28 CP-107 Argus, named after the Greek monster with 100 eyes, began operations in 1958, replacing the World War II Lancaster and interim Neptune, and was a powerful force to be reckoned with. Packed with the latest electronics, with two huge weapons bays for 8,000 pounds of ordnance and enough fuel to stay airborne for more than 22 hours, this aircraft was NATO s premier patrol aircraft. The Argus was one of the greatest aircraft ever built, and I was thankful for the rich experience of flying her, operating with such professional crewmembers and being supported by some of the most dedicated and hard-working people in the Ait Force. Major-General (Retired) Ian Patrick CD, BA. This history of the Argus has hundreds of photographs and illustrations, including a fold-out outline and design. This large format book, 189 pages is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A very-scarce book by a very small press.
