The prop off my grandfathers Piper J-3 Cub. He was a pilot but couldn't fly fighters because he was nearly blind in one eye. So he trained new pilots at Willow Run and other landing strips in Southern Michigan.
At the end of the war, they were simply dumping the Piper Cubs. I think he paid $50 for it. He flew the plane for 40 years, and it passed on to my uncle, who still flys it today.
