Description:
The J-3 was a resounding success with fixed-base operators, flight schools, and air-minded citizens who, due to the easing economic times and the Cub’s low price, could now afford to learn to fly. The price dipped from $1,300 to $995 in 1939. Nearly 20,000 Piper J-3s were built from 1938 to 1947.
