Children’s book about a little airplane called “Props”. Early 1940s. “Props” in the title, I think. Story line similar to “Scuffy the Tugboat” in Little Golden series.

It’s not “Loopy” by any chance?

“Loopy” does not ring a bell. I’m pretty sure “Props” was in the title. Like Scuffy the Tugboat, Props takes off by himself (itself?) and, I think, like Scuffy, returns home chastened after much misadventure.
Could it be From “The Runaway Airplane” by Hugh Graham. Illustrations by Tony Brice. Cover illustration by Esther Friend.
