25 JUNE 1954 FLIGHT foi trouble The big black nose of the CF-100—and what's inside it—is truly a mark of distinction. For it identifies the all-weather interceptor from the day fighter and, in the case of the CF-100, as Canada's Aerial Defender against bomber attack across the North. The"insides"—a complex mass of radar and electronic equipment—is designed to guide the CF-100 Mk. 4 unerringly to its target, lock on and destroy it with a formidable armament combination of rockets and guns. The effective ness of this search and fire-control system rs being demonstrated almost nightly during mock interception exercises by R.C.A.F. CF-100 squadrons based at strategic points. With its twin Orendas, also designed and produced by AVRO Canada, the CF-100 Mk. 4 has a greater range and more power than any other fighter- interceptor in service anywhere. The Orenda also powers the Canadair Sabre 5, the outstanding day fighter in service today. For original Canadian design, plus efficient production, look to AVRO Canada. AIRCRAFT A.V.
