Piper Aircraft L4h

Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft

The Piper J‑3 Cub is an American light aircraft produced from 1938 to 1947. It is a high‑wing, strut‑braced monoplane with a simple, lightweight design that gives it excellent low‑speed handling and short‑field performance. The Cub is Piper’s second‑most‑produced model, with over 20,000 built in the United States, and its affordability and popularity have earned it comparisons to the Ford Model T.
