Trans-Atlantic Teamwork...The twin-jet Canberra, being groomed to bolster our tactical air power, is a working example of British-American cooperation. Originally designed in England as a high-altitude radar bomber, its flight tests proved it to be as effective at low-level operations. Now, a night intruder version of this light jet bomber will be added to our own Air Force, built by Martin under license from English Electric Co., Ltd.

The Korean conflict has re-emphasized the importance of tactical air power in low-level support of ground troops. To this mission, the Canberra brings exceptional maneuverability at high combat speeds, and at low levels and low speeds...ability to whip around like a fighter and turn with the best of modern aircraft...ability to carry a potent, destructive wallop!
