• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Declared MIA on 31 July 1944, when he failed to return from a photo-recon mission in his converted P-38. The wreckage was located near Marseille in 2000, but no cause was identified. There were some German claims Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was shot down, but these are unverified. (Photo is from Welt magazine online.)
