A history of the world-famous Piper light planes from their origin
as a brainchild of Clarence G. Taylor through the series of
fabric-covered, high-wing, single-engine descendants that preserved
the aircraft's general profile. The ultimate success of the company
through many crises was due to the philosophy of William T. Piper,
Sr. who believed that light planes for student instruction and
airport flying services could be produced profitably at low cost.
He became known as "the Henry Ford of aviation" as the company
produced more light aircraft than any other manufacturer in the
world. The text includes many uses of the various models,
interesting modifications and experimental spin-offs. It concludes
with accounts of several adventurers who flew their vintage Cubs
without radios, blind flying instruments or navigational aids.
