Victory was actually a government owned
company, Canada taking over the assets of National Steel and Car Corp.
Although originally designated to build the Martin B-26, Victory Aircraft
had that replaced by the Lancaster. After arrival of prints and
specification for the over 55,000 parts required to build the Lancaster,
16 months later the first aircraft came off the production line. At
the end of the war a Lancaster a day was being produced. In November
of 1945 Canada sold Victory to Hawker Siddeley Group, which ran it as Avro
Canada. The factory no longer exists. |
