                                       The Cessna Airmaster four seat cabin monoplane was first produced in 1934 as the C-34 (indicating
                                       year of introduction). This was followed up in 1937 with the C-37. With the C-39 came a designation
                                       change to that of C-145, this time reflecting the horse power.  The C-165 seen above was the ultimate
                                       of the 1940 era Cessna high wing aircraft.  This extremely clean aircraft was powered by a 165 hp
                                       Warner Super-Scarab engine which gave it a cruising speed of over 150 mph.   This photograph was
                                       obtained from the from the Cessna Aircraft Company in 1948.
