The 172 in Depth
Typical of Bill Clarke's books The Cessna 172 brings you deeply and thoroughly into world's most popular private civil airplane. Clarke examines the history of the 172 and explains systems, handling and specifications. Included in the book is a complete list, year by year, of each model enabling the reader to compare specifications, performance, and equipment from beginning of production to the first end of production.
Never consider buying a Cessna 172 without completely studying this book. And for the armchair flyer or plane buff, you will know so much more about the ubiquitous 172 and Skyhawk just by reading Bill Clarke's excellent work.
