Description
The extensive, little-known military history of the Cessna T-41/172. Ror the first time, this rich history is captured in print, complete with "war stories" and 194 photographs from around the world. This exhaustive volume includes training and operational tales from military pilots around the world, and the type’s many mission modifications. Like the rocket pods tested by the Irish Air Corps. And the target towing system evaluated by Sweden. Illustrated with 194 photos (80% in color), the result is entertaining and educational. This is the most complete listing ever assembled of the 867 T-41s and 158 other Cessna 172s flown by 54 countries -- grouped by model, region, and country -- with current status or known disposition for most. This book is destined to become a standard reference for historians, model makes, pilots, and others for whom the Cessna 172 still defines general aviation.
"It takes an intimate familiarity and a deep love of the subject to create a book as good as this one! [It] well-researched, well-written and beautifully illustrated." --Walter J. Boyne (author & historian)
"The authors of this obvious labor of love have provided readers with a universal guide to an extremely versatile and work-horse aircraft." --Dan Hagedorn (author, "Latin American Air Wars, 1912-1969")
"Paves new ground for the pilot, the aviation buff, and the historian." --from the Foreword by Robert F. Dorr (author, "Air Combat")
$40, 8.5" x 11" Paperback, 216 pages, 194 photos, ISBN 978-0-9746553-3-8
