History
The Cessna aircraft company has a long and rich history. Founder Clyde
Cessna built his first aeroplane in 1911, and taught himself to fly it!
He went on to build a number of innovative aeroplanes, including several race
and award winning designs.
In 1934, Clyde's nephew, Dwane Wallace, fresh out of college, took over as
head of the company. During the depression years Dwane acted as everything
from floor sweeper to CEO, even personally flying company planes in air races
(several of which he won!).
