Plane Talk: Cessna Export Tales

About the Book

“Plane Talk: Cessna Export Tales” is the story of the team of close friends in the Export Department of the Cessna Aircraft Company, Wichita Kansas as seen through the eyes of Eyvinn H. Schoenberg as he relates through forty tales and five epilogue histories, experiences of his own and those of his friends in exporting Cessnas worldwide.

He describes his strict flight training in a Piper Cub, and the fun of flying Cessnas once authorized to be a “ Cessna Utility Pilot” while learning to fly “The Cessna Way”, as well as his own and others adventures in flying, selling, and developing an internationally based Distributor and Dealer organization, whose sales of Cessnas in the Caribbean, South America, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, The Far East, Europe, The Middle East, and various African countries in great part caused Wichita Kansas to be called “The Air Capitol of the World”.
