EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Piper J-3 Cub, a true legend in aviation history. Created by Piper Aircraft Corp between 1937 and 1947, this distinctive yellow high-wing light monoplane with a tailwheel became renowned as both a trainer and sport plane. Powered by a Continental A-65,65 hp engine, the J-3 Cub quickly gained fame and popularity. The success of the Piper J-3 was so immense that it forever etched the name "Cub" into aviation vocabulary as a generic term for light airplanes. Even to this day, these little yellow tail draggers remain one of the most recognizable designs in aviation worldwide. Thousands of pilots honed their skills on J-3 Cubs, including an impressive three-fourths of those enrolled in the Civilian Pilot Training Program. This particular aircraft holds significant historical value as it was built in 1941 and accumulated over 6,000 hours of flying time before undergoing restoration in 1975. Piper Aircraft Corp's journey is undoubtedly one of general aviation's greatest success stories. Beginning with Gilbert Taylor's Tiger Kitten and E-2 designs, William T. Piper collaborated with Walter Jamoneau to create the Taylor and Piper J-2 models before introducing the legendary Piper J-3. By the time production ceased in 1947, an astounding total of 19,888 Piper Cubs had been manufactured. The enduring legacy of this remarkable aircraft continues to captivate aviators around the world today.
