[edit] History
The Cessna 190/195 aircraft were Cessna's only post-war radial engine aircraft and the first prototype named P-780 flew in 1945. The biggest difference between the 190 and the 195 model was the choice of engine. The 195 used a Jacobs R-755-A2 radial engine with around 300 hp or a Jacobs R-744-A2 with 245 hp while the 190 used a Continental R-670-23 radial engine with 240 hp. The Cessna 195B model used a Jacobs R-755-B2 engine of 275 hp. Over 1,100 model 190's and 195's were made, and many are still flown today.
For most pilots, the aircraft was too expensive for private use. Therefore, they were sold mainly as a business aircraft, and thus they were called businessliners. The military version was mainly used in Alaska and could be fitted with skiis and floats.
