• 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.

In another thread I was wanting opinions on a German war paint theme. The subject of the swastika and nazism came up. This observation never occured to me, since I look upon old Luftwaffe planes and theirpaint schemes complete with swastika as part ofaviation evolution, and nothing else.


However, I don't want to be showing off my lovely unusual paint job on a flight line at some show one day, where every other person who walks past raises their eyebrows...so I created this poll for some feedback. I would prefer to keep a swastika to reinforce the flavor of the paint scheme.


Afterall, I have often seen replica warbirds with the full paint job, including the ever popular Pearl Harbor re-enactment at TX airshows with Jap torpedo bombers covered in the Rising Sun...
