Cessna 172: A Pocket History Paperback – 15 Nov. 2010

Perfect book!

This small book fills for me the need of knowing more about the Cessna 172, one of the legends of light aviation. Explaining the different variants with photos to clarify the differences , and with its small size becomes a handy reference. The only negative remark is the lack of a tabulated list of the production variants with numbers produced and serial number ranges.

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my father in law who has a personal interest in aircraft, but what is unique is the fact that I actually work alongside the author, Ron Smith, who owns his own Cessna and is very knowledgeable on this particular subject.
