Cessna 195

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_195

The Cessna 190 and 195 Businessliner are a family of light single radial engine
powered, conventional landing gear equipped, general aviation aircraft which
were manufactured by Cessna between 1947 and 1954.

The 195 model was also used by the United States Air Force, United States Army,
and Army National Guard as a light transport and utility aircraft under the
designations LC-126/U-20.

The Cessna 190 and 195 were Cessna's only postwar radial-engined aircraft. The
first prototype flew in 1945, after the end of World War II and both the 190 and
195 entered production in 1947.

The 195 was the first Cessna airplane to be completely constructed of aluminum
and features a cantilever wing, similar to the pre-war Cessna 165 from which it
is derived. The wing differs from later Cessna light aircraft in that it has a
straight taper from root chord to tip chord and no dihedral. The airfoil
employed is a NACA 2412, the same as used on the later Cessna 150, 172 and 182.

The 190/195 fuselage is large in comparison to other Cessna models because the
42" diameter radial engine had to be accommodated in the nose. There are two
rows of seats: two individual seats in the first row, with a comfortable space
between them and up to three passengers can be accommodated on a bench seat in
the second row.

The 190/195 has flat sprung-steel landing gear legs derived from Cessna's
purchase of the rights to Steve Wittman's Big X. Many have been equipped with
swiveling crosswind landing gear which allows landing with up to 15 degrees of
crab. While the crosswind gear simplifies the actual landing, it makes the
aircraft difficult to handle on the ground. The 195 is equipped with a
retractable step that extends when the cabin door is opened, although some have
been modified to make the step a fixed unit.

The aircraft was expensive to purchase and operate for private use and Cessna
therefore marketed them as mainly as a business aircraft under the name
"Businessliner".

The engines fitted to the 190 and 195 became well known for their oil
consumption. The aircraft has a 5-US-gallon (19 L) oil tank, with 2 US gallons
(7.6 L) the minimum for flight. Typical oil consumption with steel cylinder
barrels is 2 US quarts (1.9 L) per hour.

A factory-produced floatplane version was equipped with a triple tail for
improved yaw stability. The tail resembles that of the Lockheed Constellation.

The Cessna 195 produces a cruise true airspeed of 148 knots (274 km/h) (170 MPH)
on a fuel consumption of 16 US gallons (61 L) per hour. It can accommodate five
people.

Including the LC-126s, a total of 1180 190s and 195s were built.

In the VNam war, my aviation company had both UH-1s and Beavers. Flew down to
Ca Mau (tip of the delta in a U-6 and we left at midnight...as the junior
officer (1st lieutenant & only rated for helicopters) the pilot (a captain) had
me take the controls and do the flying back to Saigon while he dozed. As there
was no electricity in those days in the small villages, it was pitch black with
no horizon and the only lights to focus on were the city lights of Saigon...way
off in the distance.

Flew it on instruments most of the way back. I remember them as no
frills-simple and noisy!!
