PA-18 Super Cub

Nov 20, 2008 1 Replies

I see photos of Super Cubs with two different rear window configurations. Some are rounded ones like the J-3. Others are large and rectangular like the L-2.



Did Piper offer an option on these windows? Or are the planes with the rectangular windows actually surplus military planes? I forget the designation of the military version of the PA-18, but I would expect the large windows on that version.


Not being an expert, but I'd suspect the ones with bigger windows are ex-military. IIRC, the military versions were designated L-18 &/or L-21. Not sure of the diffs between the two.
