Welcome to Babcock Airplanes
A list of aircraft built and/or designed by Early Bird Aviator, Vearne C. Babcock
This blog is still under construction, while I have managed to find several sources relating to Babcock's aircraft, there are still a lot of holes in the data I have. If you know of some resources not listed on these pages, or if you have pictures of some of the Babcock Aircraft feel free to contact me.
As much as possible, I have tried to use hard copy resources or documents for references.

It appears in a 1930-dated newsreel clip entitled "For The Day When We Shall All Fly." A man resembling Vearne C. Babcock also appears near the conclusion of the film. Here is the address:
