“I only know that I want that biplane. I want it because I want to travel through time and I want to fly a difficult airplane and I want to feel the wind when I fly and I want people to look, to see, to know that glory still exists. I want to be part of something big and glorious.“
—— Richard Bach, Biplane
Richard Bach wrote those words in 1966. They are as true now as they were then. We feel that these words capture a basic sense of why people build and fly replica aircraft, and to a larger extent, why so many folks study history, build models, re-enact, and play war games.
We hope to make Great War Aerodrome true to the basic philosophy described here by Richard Bach.
