 CBC News In Depth: Bombardier   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Joseph-Armand Bombardier's gift to the world was a clunky-looking machine that could carry people through the heavy snowfalls of rural Quebec.
Back in the 1930s, he'd dreamed of a vehicle that could "float on snow." It was his invention of the snowmobile that laid the foundation of a Canadian corporate empire that eventually grew to encompass the manufacture of Sea-Doos, ATVs, sport boats, subway cars, high-speed commuter trains, turbo-props, business and commuter jets, and amphibious aircraft.
The deal would result in Bombardier filing a $1.4-billion lawsuit over the price of the deal, which would be resolved in 2004 with a $200-million US price reduction.

Originally the bombardier had a.30 caliber machine gun in the plexiglas nose but this was soon changed to a more effective.50 caliber.
