According to http://www.pipercubforum.com/whats.htm, a "Piper Cub"
could be a J-2, J-3, J-4, J-5, or PA-11. Closely related to the Cub are
the PA-12, PA-14, and PA-18.


A few J-2s were built by Piper, the majority were built by Taylor. The J-4
was called the "Cub Coupe", the J-5 was called the "Cub Cruiser", the PA-11
was called the "Cub Special", the PA-12 was called the "Super Cruiser", the
PA-14 was called the "Family Cruiser", and the PA-18 was called the "Super
Cub".
