| Robin King , WI | This Ambulence cub is now at Eggesford and we've recently removed the nose art on request of the owner. They also have an L18 that we are restoring to US ARMY Colors and about to paint the insignias. The anmbulence Cubs really are wonderful things to look at. "Abes Babe" was in Guam, Pearl Harbour and somewhere else I forget now! 05/17/2006 @ 10:45 [ref: 13305] |
| jim unger sammamish, WA | I just bought this cool HE-1 (30253)and would like more info on these aircraft. I also have found little info on them.
This one has a new rebuilt O-290 installed. Regards Jim Unger 206-817-7077 01/10/2006 @ 19:05 [ref: 12120] |
| Bud Field Hayward, CA | Our HE-1/J5-C will start undergoing restoration in our Shop at the Calaveras County Airpoirt in the near future. It is currently airworthy and in the J5-C configuration. The serial # 5-1461 shows that it was one of the 100 delivered as HE-1's and the engine is the original early model O-235 that came with the aircraft.
We are looking for info for restoring the aircrft back to it's original ambulance configuration. All help would be appreciated. Bud Field 925-455-2300 05/20/2005 @ 13:21 [ref: 10272] |
| Kenneth MacWilliams , VA | Howdy,
I am currently looking for any data on the Piper Air Ambulance as used by the Navy. ANY photos would be appreciated. I am even willing to purchase photos that shor doors, rear hinge type, locking device, etc. Also any color schemes that might have been used. Drop me a note at my e-mail address and I'll contact you by phone if you prefer. Thanks!! AMA 2004 member #794XXX 07/01/2004 @ 04:05 [ref: 7729] |
| Gary Alphin Fort Worth, TX | I am a Radio Control Scale Modleler. I recently built a 105" wing span Radio Control Scale Model and came across an article about the role these Piper Cub's played as an air ambulance and decided to make this plane a tribute to those men and women who served in this role. But there is almost no documentation nor is there any color pictures of these aircraft. If anyone could email me some Good quality Digital pictures of the entire aircraft. I need a front, side, back also of the hinged section open and closed like the thumbnail posted on the website. Any information I can get it would be greatly appreciated. 11/19/2002 @ 17:13 [ref: 6110] |
| Steven May Wells, England, UK, SC | We now have an airworthy AE-1 here in the UK - painted up in yellow US Navy c/s with red cross marking - Bu serial 30274 - now registered N203SA - con number 5-1477.
It has nose art - from memory it could be called \\\"Abe\\\'s Babe\\\" or similar. It resides at Henstridge airfield near Shaftsbury, England. PS you "state province" form is a problem for non-US comment additions Regards Steve in Wells, UK 05/08/2002 @ 18:22 [ref: 4899] |
| Jason Carlstrom , IA | When you find some information about the AE-1 I would love to know. I have a J-5C cub that was originally an AE-1 built in 1943 and I would like to return it to it's original configuration. Information is scarce and I am having a hard time finding it.
