How to Fly a Piper Cub

How To Fly a Piper Cub is a step-by-step pictorial familiarizing and instructing on the Piper Cub Trainer. This entertaining and informative booklet gives useful instructions on flying the Piper J-3 Cub—techniques that can be applied to flying any aircraft. Built by Piper Aircraft between 1937 and 1947, the J-3 Cub is one of history’s best-known civilian aircraft. The Cub’s simplicity, and affordability, led to the plane being dubbed the “Model T of the Sky.” It ushered in a new era of aviation in which anyone could fly. More than 20,000 Cubs were built, including thousands as trainer and liaison aircraft during WWII. Today the Cub is one of aviation’s most imitated aircraft, renown for its superb flying qualities. Originally printed in 1945, when all Piper production was restricted for military use, this How To Fly a Piper Cub booklet looked ahead to the post-war era. Produced in color with rich illustrations, specification sheets, both black-and-white and color photos, it’s a nostalgic piece of history that no Piper fan or flying enthusiast can resist.
