Summary

At its creation in 1957, NORAD was given operational control over the vast US and Canadian continental air defence forces. This work follows Canadian involvement in the binational command as the threat shifted from Soviet bombers to ballistic missiles to terrorist-highjacked aircraft. It also examines the place of Canadians within NORAD.
