About the J-3 Cub

The Piper Aircraft J-3 Cub is a fixed-wing utility aircraft developed in the United States. It is widely recognized as a simple, single-engine monoplane that became a staple of civil aviation and flight training.

Created during the late nineteen-thirties, the aircraft is famous for its distinctive yellow paint scheme and tandem seating arrangement. It played a massive role in training civilian pilots prior to and during wartime eras, with vast numbers manufactured to meet high demand.
