Piper J-3 Cub Facts
The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple, light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. With tandem (fore and aft) seating. At the height of production after WWII, a new Piper J-3 Cub was completed every 20 minutes! The Cub was intended for flight training, but became one of the most popular and best-known light aircraft of all time. The Cub's simplicity, affordability and popularity invites comparison to the Ford Model T automobile.
The aircraft's standard chrome yellow paint has come to be known as “Cub Yellow” or "Lock Haven Yellow."
