This authoritative reference takes airplane enthusiasts on a tour of 11 of the most popular high-performance, single-engine airplane models, commonly referred to as light retractables. Each plane's development history is accompanied by valuable insight into its design considerations, important evolutionary changes, the pros and cons of each model, and any noteworthy maintenance issues. A unique perspective on how the planes' technical and ergonomic aspects play out when in use is provided to potential owners and pilots; those same elements are also weighed against economic considerations for a balanced look at each plane. Stunning photography illustrates each aircraft discussed, including the Beech Bonanza 35, Cessna Cutlass RG, and Piper Comanche 180.
