趣闻

The Defender is a 54-minute Canadian documentary film, made in 1988 by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and directed by Stephen Low. The film depicts the building of the Diemert Defender, an emergency fighter aircraft project by Bob Diemert, an eccentric Canadian aviation engineer. His dream of building the next Canadian strike fighter aircraft to challenge the might of the Soviet Union in the event of invasion was dependent on selling a restored warbird.

Production

Director Stephen Low committed himself to the film project from 1982, following the story of the Diemert projects as they continually changed. The result was a six-year-long period of acquiring footage, along with producer/cameraman Charles Kenowal, at a variety of locations including Diemert's home base of Carman, Winnipeg's Transport Canada offices and Texas.
