The Piper PA-14 Family Cruiser is a small touring aircraft first flown in March 1947, a development of the earlier PA-12 Super Cruiser. It was launched at a time of serious financial difficulty for the company, and indeed, soon after the release of the Family Cruiser, Piper was placed in receivership.
The PA-14 was in production for about three years, from 1947 to 1949, and one was built in 1951. In all, 235 units were built. It went by the wayside as did the PA-12 and one could say that it was replaced by the short wing short bodied rag aircraft known as the PA-15 Vagabond. Piper would introduce a true four-place replacement in the Piper PA-16 Clipper and Piper PA-20 Pacer.
