• 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.

Attached is a photo of my dad with his airplane. Dad is on the ground facing the prop. The photo was probably taken in the late 1920s or more probably in the early 1930s.

I've been trying to find out what kind of airplane it is and I've gotten a number of replies, but everyone sort of says "well, most of it is this type, but here's a few things different."

Perhaps someone on this forum can be of assistance.

Dad was a B-25 flight instructor in WWII. He flew in the Air Force Reserves after the war until the late 1950s, perhaps even into the very early 60s.

Dad retired as an FAA inspector in late 1967 or early 1968.

By the way, I can send a larger version of the photo to anyone who sends me their e-mail address if that will help.

In advance, thanks!! Art [email protected][img]http://www.biplaneforum.com/uploads/20101221_144513_Old_Airplane_70.jpg[/img]
