• 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.

TIMELESS VOICES OF AVIATION: ED MARQUART

During World War II, Ed Marquart served as an aviation machinist mate repairing damaged fighter aircraft aboard the aircraft carrier USS Shangri-La (CV-38). After the war, he worked at various aircraft manufacturers in the Philadelphia area, including Piasecki Helicopter and Lanier Aircraft Corporation. Ed was an early member of EAA (membership No. 198) and in 1955 he moved to California and went to work for Ray Stits building aircraft kits at Flabob Airport in Riverside. In 1958, Ed went into business for himself designing his own homebuilt aircraft, selling plans, and working on unique restoration projects for others. He is perhaps best known for his MA-5 Charger biplane design. Ed passed away at the age of 85 in 2007.
