## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flew a 172?
*by K***J on October 15, 2021*

A great history of one of the most iconic single engine aircraft ever built. Facts and illustrations put any reminiscent pilot right back to taking the controls.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little book with a lot of information
*by J***R on December 11, 2021*

This little book has a lot of information packed into it about the development of the Cessna 172 through the years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good overview, needs more original paint schemes
*by J***. on July 7, 2013*

A nice little pocket reference on the Cessna 172. Having read it through, I now enjoy thumbing through it and reminding myself of interesting developments in the series. My one complaint is that many of older models shown in the book have been repainted in more modern paint schemes. My impression is that many of the photos are holiday snaps that the author grabbed in his travels. That is, it seems he photographed examples of various models as he came upon them, rather than seeking the best examples for illustration. This is understandable, as many owners are not interested in originality; and finding original or restored examples, travelling to them, and photographing them would be very expensive. Local to me, N78797 is a nicely restored 1968 K-model, N84823 is a nicely-restored 1970 K-model (both with original paint schemes), and a gleaming Cessna 170 in its original scheme of polished aluminium and blue is a frequent visitor to local fly-ins. Restored or original aircraft are out there, and would have been better choices for an overview of the type.The lack of exemplars of how these aircraft appeared as the left the factory notwithstanding, this pocket history does provide ample photographs of the models from the beginning to the present. The four-star rating, instead of five-star, is due solely to my personal preference to see the aircraft as they were. The text is informative, and pointed out details that I had not noticed before.If you're a fan of the Cessna 172, you must have this book in your library.
