[edit] Confused

My reference[1] says the Cessna C-165 with the 165 hp Super Scarab engine, was a follow-on to the C-145 which was a redesignation of the Model C-39 (the numerical part indicating horsepower, 145 hp). The C-165D had a 175 hp Super Scarab. The C-39 was a new design 4-seat model rolled out 11 September 1938.

The two Army Model C-34s had the USAAF designation UC-77B. (Out of 42 built) One Model C-37 had the USAAF designation UC-77C. (out of 46 built) Three Model C-165s had the USAAF designation UC-94. (42 C-145s built, 34 C-165s built, 3 C-165Ds built)

I'm only interested in the Military Aviation part. This whole article might need to be reworked someday. Do whatever y'all think best. --Colputt 23:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
