Looks like a Piper Cub. If so, its the same airplane I learned how to fly when I was 16. MANY moons ago in Waukegan IL.

So did my brother on his sixteenth birthday at Hybla Valley Airport, Virginia in 1945. I was wondering if it was a Cub.

Likely an L-16, a liaison airplane built by Aeronca for the military, derived from their 7 series. Difficult to be certain because the front & lower cowls are missing.
