A very comprehensive history of the Rearwin company ups and downs.  The airplanes are discussed, but there's more emphasis on the personalities and the history than on the technical details of the aircraft.

Type Clubs

The Rearwin Club is operated in conjunction with the Antique Aircraft Association.  Contact the association for more information.

Eric Rearwin, the grandson of one of the namesake Rearwin brothers, also runs a nice Rearwin website at http://www.rearwin.com.
