Two excellent books on the Famous Gee Bee Racer

Good Reading:
Order Henry Haffke's Gee Bee The Real Story of The Granville Brothers and Their Marvelous Airplanes. Today!

If You would like to learn more about the Granville brothers and the Gee Bees,then I highly recommend that You read:"Gee Bee The Real Story of the Granville Brothers and Their Marvelous Airplanes". by Henry A. Haffke. Gee Bee historian and modeler Henry Haffke presents rare photos and fascinating accounts from Granville family members and key participants in the Gee Bee Story. Genuine facts, not "hack-writer theory". Covers the biplanes, sport planes, racers and unrealized projects. Softbound, ten 3-views, 226 photos, 176 pages.

Good Reading: Order Delmar Benjamin/Steve Wolf'sThe Gee Bee Today!

If You are interested in the Gee Bee and the building of the Gee Bee -R2 Replica, then I highly recommend that You read: "Gee Bee". by Delmar Benjamin and Steve Wolf.80 color photos! The inside story of the modern Gee Bee R-2 creation, by the men who built it and the man who flies it. Covered are research, construction, testing and flying, in the words of those who recreated one of 1932's most famous racers. This in-depth examination debunks myths perpetuated over many years, reveals new details, and presents a magnificent selection of stunning full-color photographs. A must for modelers and historians alike. Also included are a Granville brothers aircraft lineage and a review of the original Gee Bee R-2 flight logbooks. Much better than photographing it yourself! Softbound, 8�"x9", 96 pages,
