Description
In 1937 the Taylor Aircraft Company was reorganized as the Piper Aircraft Corporation at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, with William T. Piper as president. The company was soon producing a light, high-wing monoplane called the Piper J-3 Cub. By the end of 1941, Piper had manufactured 10,000 of the popular side-by-side, two-seater planes. During World War II, the Cub, which could fly at grasstop height and land almost in its own length, was turned out by the thousands to meet the demand for frontline observation aircraft. Known in the military as L-4Bs, or Grasshoppers, the 65-horsepower Cubs were even being fitted with bazooka rockets by 1944 for use as "tankbusters."
