About the Piper J-3 Cub
The Piper J-3 Cub is the iconic yellow taildragger of the 1930s and 1940s and one of the most recognizable airplanes ever built. A simple two-seat tandem trainer powered by a small Continental, Franklin or Lycoming engine, it taught generations of pilots to fly and served in World War II as the L-4 "Grasshopper" liaison aircraft. Today the J-3 is a beloved collector and weekend flyer, valued for low-and-slow flying, grass-strip charm and its place in aviation history.
Produced 1937–1947.
