Fokker: The Creative Years

Hardcover 15x22 cm, 420 pages. This book records in intimate detail the formative years of the Fokker company and tells the story of the men and the aircraft whose work and achievements made that company one of the greatest aircraft companies in the world. Contains a vast amount of detailed data about Fokker's life and work and his aeroplanes, from the early Spiders to post-war Fokker machines. It corrects many erroneous beliefs and sets straight the record of the formative years of the great Dutchman, while paying belated honour to Reinhold Platz who designed the best of the Fokker aeroplanes of World War I and the most famous of the Fokker transport monoplanes. 9780851778174
