• 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.

Great way to kill an hour during virus.
1918, life of airmail pilot 800 hrs, same as light bulb.
All this effort to cut mail time in half of train time, today sent instantly at speed of light!
At the end he says mail now flys at 35,000ft...what fun is that?
And that is why we have the Biplane Forum!
