When it first emerged from the factory in 1947, the Beechcraft Bonanza was a thing to behold. Fast, good looking and practical, it was soon a sales hit.

Mark Phelps is a senior editor at AVweb. He is an instrument rated private pilot and former owner of a Grumman American AA1B and a V-tail Bonanza.
