DESCRIPTION:
Dorr (author of Air Combat)In 2006, the ubiquitous Cessna Model 172 Skyhawk turned 50, with a seldom-heralded military record almost as long. Cessna delivered 867 T-41 Mescaleros (the military version of the 172) in four distinct models to countries around the world -- plus another 158 off-the-shelf 172s, with many still serving into the 21st century. With many armed forces still operating 172s and T-41s, its military story is far from closed.Filled with operational stories, little-known applications, and 194 photos (80% in full color), T-41 Mescalero explains how, why, and when this stalwart Cessna has fulfilled its varied military roles!. This volume contains personal stories, vivid descriptions, and more than a little humor -- but it also provides specifications and serials that have never previously been assembled in one place." --from the Foreword by Robert F.

Book hits it on the nail-head Fletcher Pool I was given a copy of this book while in the big middle of a ten year rebuild of Army #15188 from pretty near scratch. I did enjoy the book very much and from it gained an enlargement of my feelings for my wonderful Army T-41B. No matter what discouraging things some might say about the T-41B those who flew it and nicknamed it Mescalero did so for specific reasons. The T-41s were tough birds. My full military olive drab Army #15188 flies circles around the regular Cessna 172 trainers. It is not all that much faster, but it climbs like a homesick angel, with bystanders wondering how it can keep climbing all t. Good and thorough research Well researched but why no acknowledgement to Miltair 1982 by J Andrade where many details were first acquireded from. But good to get type and fates up to more recent times.. Fantastic!! A fantastic account on the T-Fantastic!!

Air Fan magazine, Nov 2007:Traitant de chaque variante et de tous les utilisateurs, proposant en sus une sélection de pages tirées due manuel technique, cette étude est la meilleure sur le sujet.

I can highly recommend it.A universal guide to an extremely versatile and workhorse aircraft, a story that richly deserves telling. -- Walter J. This is the definitive book
