“It takes an intimate familiarity and a deep love of the subject to create a book as good as this one! This long overdue tribute to the Cessna T-41 Mescalero is well researched, well written and beautifully illustrated.” --Walter J.Boyne, author and historian “The breadth of information presented by these three respected authors makes this a fundamental must–have volume for all advocates of military aviation.” --Rob Fox, Editor, Flightpath “The authors of this obvious labor of love have provided readers with a universal guide to a extremely versatile and workhorse aircraft, a story that richly deserves telling.” --Dan Hagedorn, author, Latin American Air Wars 1912-1969 “Walt Shiel, Jan Forsgren, and Mike Little have covered the story of the T-41 Mescalero, and other military 172s, in a wide-reaching and exciting way that paves new ground for the pilot, the aviation buff, and the historian.” --from the Foreword by Robert F.Dorr, author of Air Combat
During World War II, Cessna Aircraft Company sold more than 5,000 twin-engine aircraft-the T-50 Bobcat-to US and foreign armed forces with a variety of designations and missions. As the USAAF AT-8 and AT-17 and the RCAF Crane multi-engine trainers, the T-50 prepared new pilots for the bigger bomber and transport aircraft they would fly in combat around the world. As the UC-78 and JRC-1, it provided personnel and light cargo transportation worldwide. "Cessna Warbirds: The War Years (1941-45)" details the genesis and evolution of the Cessna T-50 Bobcat from its incarnation as a civilian aircraft throughout its wartime military history. Personal recollections from pilots who flew the aircraft during WW II, a plethora of photographs (some in color), diagrams extracted from the pilot's flight manual, and a collection of Cessna-related wartime ads provide a unique depth of material. "The War Years" also chronicles the pre-war, single-engine Cessnas that were impressed into military service. "The War Years" includes an illustrated overview of Clyde Cessna the man, the aircraft he designed, and the companies he created. It will soon be followed by "Cessna Warbirds: Post-War Adaptations," Volume 3 of the Cessna Warbirds Series.
A Fort Worth detective finds contentment as a small-town police chief. After a 15-year career with the Fort Worth PD, Orin Cage becomes Chief of Police in the Rather, Texas. Glad to escape the high-pressure, Metroplex crime scene, Cage's laid-back approach to law enforcement proves effective. The stories: "By a Nose" (inept double-crossing crooks), "Give Him a Hand" (it was just a magic act, right?), "A Quiet Sunday" (that turned out not quite so quiet, after all), "Lady in Distress" (she didn't appreciate the help), "Out of Control" (nobody's kid is immune), "Have Another Drink" (but be careful whom you stick it to in business).
