Cessna 195
The Cessna 195 was the more powerful version of the 190, fitted with a large Jacobs radial engine. It became popular as a bush and executive aircraft because it could carry a heavy load into short strips. The big round cowling and tailwheel make it look unlike later Cessnas.

Did you know?
The 195 shares the 190's rounded airframe almost exactly; only its larger Jacobs radial engine underneath really gives the two away.
