Wings of Cessna: Model 120 to the Citation III by Edward H Phillips
Of all the light airplanes built in America since the 1930s, the Cessna
series of monoplanes has emerged as one of the best known today to both
airman and layman alike, spreading their wings to serve the needs of
flight training, charter, corporate, private agricultural and military
aviation for over 50 years. The purpose of this book is to illustrate
the Cessna airplanes built from 1946 through 1986 in a pictorial format,
one that lends itself to the interest of the weekend pilot as well as
the hero historian. In the half century since the Model C-34 took flight
and ushered the company into its second era, six basic families of
airplanes were created, designed to cover a wide spectrum of the general
aviation marketplace. Each series of airplanes are presented as
follows: 100 series, 200 series, 300 series, 400 series, 500 series, 600
series. In addition, information is included regarding experimental
models that were built and flown, but because of flight performance,
economic or market considerations were not given production status. The
reader will find information conveniently grouped for each model and its
derivative that pertains to year of introduction, price, quantity
produced and general specifications. When applicable, additional
information on a specific model or other notes of interest will be
included. Appendix A contains footnotes pertaining to certain models for
constructor number blocks. Three-view drawings are included with the
text for each major single and multi-engine model.
