A widely read syndicated columnist, Rodengen left Southern Star in 1987 to form Write Stuff. His work has received two Pulitzer Prize nominations, one for American history and one for American biography. Best-selling author Jeffrey L. Rodengen delivers the definitive account of the general aviation leader, with a foreword by renowned golfer and Cessna pilot, Arnold Palmer. Discover the designers, leaders, innovators and events that have shaped the aviation industry. From Clyde Cessna's first flight in 1911, to the Citation X cruising at Mach.92, this extraordinary history is a valuable part of the flying experience. Throughout its distinguished history, Cessna has built a reputation for rising above the turbulence that has threatened to ground it on more than one occasion. A luxurious 9" x 11 1/4" hardcover book with 256 pages and over 300 rare photos. Clyde Vernon Cessna (December 5, 1879 - November 20, 1954) was an American aircraft designer, aviator, and founder of the Cessna Aircraft Corporation. In 1911, he set out to build his first airplane, an airplane he named "Silverwing".[4] His first design was a monoplane, constructed of spruce and linen and which took the form of an American version of the Bleriot XI. The engine was a modified Elbridge motorboat motor, dubbed the "aero special", which was a 2-stroke, 4-cylinder engine with a maximum of 40 hp (30 kW) and 1,050 rpm. Upon completion, he sought to test the aircraft at the Great Salt Plains (adjacent to the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge) in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. After the success of the Silverwing, Cessna permanently quit his work with the automobile industry to pursue his interests in aviation. Between 1912 and 1915, Cessna developed several new monoplanes, all powered by a Anzani 6-cylinder with 40-60 hp. During this time, Clyde often flew his aircraft at holiday events and county fairs, an endeavor that at the time proved to be lucrative. It was in 1916 that Clyde acquired a vacant building to begin building a new aircraft for the 1917 aviation exhibition season. His factory served a dual purpose, as he also opened a flight school in which he had five enrolled student pilots. On September 7, 1927, Cessna and aviation entrepreneur Victor Roos paired to form Cessna-Roos Aircraft. Roos resigned just one month into the partnership, selling back his interest to Cessna, and the company changed its name to Cessna Aircraft Corporation in December. Despite the success of new models, the Great Depression led to a catastrophic drop in aircraft sales, a bankruptcy filing for the corporation, and the complete closure of the company in 1931. In 1934, Cessna reopened his Wichita plant, which he soon sold to his nephewsâ"aeronautical engineer Dwane Wallace and his brother, attorney Dwight Wallaceâ"in 1936.
