The Cessna 150 / 152, by Bill Clarke, published by Tab Books

Bill Clarke has produced a full stop work of reference on the venerable Cessna 150 and 152. In the second edition of his book, Bill starts describing in clear language an overview of the history of the most prolific aircraft manufacturer since men took to the skies. He then catalogs all the model changes and consequent variations in performance from the first 150 that came out of Wichita in 1957 to the last 152, 28 years later. As with any popular airplane, many after market modifications became available over the years. Bill has collected the best catalog of these enhancements I have ever seen. For those who want to pamper their aircraft them selves, The Cessna 150 / 152 covers all you need to know to take the best possible care of the worlds most popular training aircraft. Bill Clarke has done owners, operators and 150 / 152 aficionado's a big favor by making all they ever wanted to know available in one admirably written volume. A truly must have!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine 150/152 buyer's and owner's guide, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cessna 150 & 152 (Paperback)

This is a very good book for anyone planning to buy a 150/152. It describes all the model variations, and gives helpful shopping advice for those already sold on one of these planes, and the "Hangar Flying" section will only reinforce your decision. It has good technical info on maintenance and ADs as well. A few more good photos, and it'll be perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good book on a very good plane., March 30, 1999

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Cessna 150/152 series aircraft. It touches on the history of the design and provides detailed specs on each model year to 1985 as well as component descriptions . It also contains a good selection of interesting photographs. A list of maintenance/inspection procedures and current STC's (to 1993) are also provided. Includes hangar flying anectdotes from pilots, owners, and mechanics. NTSB statistics are compared with other light aircraft.
