The Piper J-3 Cub is a small, simple single engine light aircraft produced by Piper Aircraft from 1938 to 1947, with a fabric covered airframe, tandem two seat cockpit and a trademark yellow paint scheme that became closely associated with early American flight training. Tens of thousands were built, including a militarized observation and liaison version used in the Second World War, and it remains a widely recognized symbol of grassroots general aviation.
