Another History…Of Cessna Aircraft Co.

This particular article is one of the most fascinating I’ve read. I hope you enjoy it:
(There are two small (typographical?) errors which I noticed.
1-Clyde did not “return” to the company in 1936 …two years before he left it in 1938. Doh.
2-Clyde did not “retire” in 1936…..for the same erroneous reason. Clyde remained in a semi-functionary-role, and observed the production of the leading single-engine Cessna 170 series, (even attending a company dinner celebrating the B-model), until his death in 1954.
3-Also, I’m not impressed by statements such as “… (in those days, lightplane aviation was even far more hazardous than it is today,…)
But these are minor. It’s a great article. Enjoy:
