Why become a Subscribing Member?

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.

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.

I find myself feeling pretty under the weather the last few days and have thought I might as well read something while taking it easy. I enjoy biographies of aviators and some fiction based on aviation. Anyway what is your favorite aviator book? I've read most of the standards but can recommend a fairly rare book about Roscoe Turner. What an incredible guy! I was thinking I might re read The Cannibal Queen...every biplane guys dream to fly the country for months on end with nothing but tomorrow's flying to worry about.
