This documentary combines the most compelling elements of political and aviation history. The 1950s were a time of global unrest, and the race for space was on. Designed by Canadians and funded by Americans, the Avrocar was essentially a flying saucer whose aim was to serve as a deterrent to unwanted visitors, be they Communists or extraterrestrials. During a time of widespread paranoia, the Avrocar became an international object of desire.
