	The Piper Cub
		Piper effectively took control of the firm when he assumed the position of corporate secretary-treasurer, although he retained Gilbert Taylor in the role of president.
		The Piper J-3 Cub became the primary trainer aircraft of the CPT—75 percent of all new pilots in the CPT were trained in Cubs.
		Piper Cubs, variously designated as the L-4, O-59 and NE-1 and generically nicknamed “Grasshoppers,” were used extensively in World War II for reconnaissance, transporting supplies and medical evacuation.

	Plane & Pilot Magazine \| Piper Clipper
		Technically, the Clipper was a four-seat, 115 hp follow-on to the two-place, 65 hp Piper Vagabond, a variant of the Cub.
		Piper’s Vagabond and Clipper were the first of what were called the short-wing Pipers, consisting of the Vagabond, Clipper, Pacer, Colt and 125/135/150/160 hp Tri-Pacers.
		Piper had no airplane that competed head-to-head with the Cessna 170, but the Pierces’ modified Clipper is on par with the popular Cessna and lands equally easily.

	Piper Aircraft, Inc. - Heritage
		William T. Piper is known as the "Henry Ford of Aviation." And the yellow Cub is the acknowledged symbol of personal flight.
		It was also Piper's first twin engine model and the first in a series to be named after an American Indian tribe.
		As the progression in the turboprop field continued, Piper introduced the Cheyenne III in 1979 and later upgraded it to the Cheyenne IIIA.

	Monogram Piper Tripacer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Piper then decided to take things a step farther for those who wanted to upgrade to the next level of light aircraft and so developed the Pacer.
		Piper cut the wingspan of the Cub by 6' to reduce cost (just 29' 3", thus the nickname "Shortwing Pipers").
		Piper tried for a modern, aluminum trainer with the Tomahawk (sometimes referred to as the Trauma-Hawk!) with little success.

	Piper High Wings
		It was Piper’s attempt to build a three-passenger airplane and they came close, as long as the back passengers are slim of butt and like each other a lot.
		Where the Vagabond started the short-wing ball rolling, it is the Clipper, produced only in1949, that set the shape of things to come.
		All high-wing Pipers have steel tube airframes that are 40 to 60 years old and this is something to consider when buying one.

	PIPER PA-16 'CLIPPER' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Piper firm was set under administration by the New York banks.
		Rather quickly there was developed from the Vagabond basic type a 4-seater version with an extra tank in one wing, an extra door in the left side and with a Lycoming O-235 engine of 108 hp.
		Piper took the consequense and produced a new version with a wheel instead of the stick and which carried all its tank capacity in the wings and had a bigger engine - and in this way in 1950 the succesful type PA-20 'Pacer' was sent to the market.

	What's a Piper Cub?
		Piper must have thought so, too, since he included "Cub" in the names of both aircraft.
		Piper regarded this as the perfection of the J-3--a tandem taildragger with fabric covering, but (eventually) with flaps and an electric starter.
		There was no mystery about the Vagabond's purpose in life: it was designed to use up Piper's inventory of spare parts and raw materials, which meant that it had to sell for less than the basic Cub.

	"GRASSHOPPER" NATION... DANCE TO THE PIPER LOOMING?
		The piper came back, but the townsfolk stiffed him for his pay, and dared him to be able to do anything about it.
		The piper then pulled out his instrument again, and played such a beautiful tune that all the children in the town ran to follow him out of town and were never seen again.
		The pied pipers are waltzing off, leaving us with little time to devise any kind of strategy to rewrite the ending of the upside-down fable we're all being cast in.

	Piper PA-20 Pacer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PA-20 Pacer is a four-place, high-wing light aircraft that was built by Piper Aircraft in the post-World War II period.
		The Pacer was essentially a four-place version of the two-place PA-17 Vagabond light aircraft.
		Production of the Vagabond, Pacer, Tri-Pacer and Colt was completed by the early 1960s and they were superseded by the PA-28 Cherokee line of aircraft.

	PA-15 Vagabond
		The "Piper Cub Vagabond" was designed and produced in an effort to get the company moving again after the war.
		Many of the J3 "Piper Cub" components were included in an effort to use existing inventory.
		Hence the PA-15 became known as a short wing piper (the first of several models to follow).

	Piper Pacer PA-22-135
		In Canada's North and bushed areas the most common wings in the sky besides ducks are those of Piper's Super Cub the PA-18.
		The Cubs with their longer wings continued to be made with three seat J-5 and the PA-12 versions, then came the work horse PA-18 Super Cub.
		There are two for sale on this Italian web page which also has a picture of a tricycle geared one and a whole list of them on another.

	A Piper Cub bibliography
		This is a story about love--of flying, of Cubs, of brothers, and of the conflicted love between two boys and their outrageous dad.
		The first chapter in the book would be of the most interest to those involved with the early Pipers, both long and short-wing versions.
		The first third of this large and detailed book lays out what appears to be the definitive account of the Cubs built by Taylor and Piper; the appendix has some stuff on foreign licensees.

		This allowed the aircraft to be built with minimal design and development costs, and is credited with saving the company from bankruptcy after the war.
		The Vagabond was later superseded by the Pacer, Tri-Pacer and Colt, which are all in fact variations of the Vagabond design.
		The PA-15 and PA-17 Vagabonds, along with the later Pacer, Tri-Pacer, Colt and their variants are supported by a very active aircraft type club, The Shortwing Piper Club.

		Piper PA17 Vagabond G-BTOT is now back in the air and flying again following a one year rebuild after a hand propping accident which damaged both wings.
		This aircraft was originally designed back in the 1960s by Mr John Thorp, who later went on to work for Piper and designed the very successful PA28 Cherokee range.
		Although the Thorpe is designed around the continental 100 hp engine, we had become of the development of the Wilksch Airmotive WAM-120 diesel engine, which is supposedly a direct replacement for the Continental.
