• 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.

One more request for your help identifying a vintage biplane. I believe one of these two men is my grandfather* during a flying lesson in 1914. He trained at the Wright Bros. Field in Dayton, and was in active service by 1915. That leads me to believe this photo was taken in 1914. Can any of your readers identify this plane, and possibly verify that it might have been used for his training? Thanks very much, and all the best for 2010.
*(Lloyd S. Breadner, flew with Royal Flying Corps in 1915; achieved air ace status; later Air Chief Marshal of the RCAF).
