Brown's Piper Cub

This vintage Piper Cub is owned by Brown's Seaplane Base at the Winter Haven Airport. It is probably one of the best known light aircraft produced by the Piper Aircraft company. It had an approximately ten year long production run, from 1937 to 1947. It was used extensively during WWII for many tasks such as artillary spotting, message carrying and basic flight training. I believe that this is a Piper Cub J-3 variant that has been modified to be a seaplane. In aircraft production terms it was probably comparable to Henry Ford's Model T automobile.
