	First World War.com - Who's Who - Anton Fokker
		Anton Fokker's (1890-1939) name is inextricably linked with the series of aircraft he designed and which, employed by the Germans during World War One, came to personify the era of aerial 'dogfights'.
		Fokker's company also invented the so-called 'interrupter gear' that made it possible for a machine gun to fire through the aircraft's propeller blades.
		Fokker's development of the interrupter gear pre-empted French efforts led by Roland Garros along similar lines (the French however had concentrated upon the development of deflector blades).

		Fokker senior's doubts were confounded in the early war years when '33 his son not only repaid every penny with interest, but declined his patrimony; whatever he might need thereafter, it would never again be money from his father.
		Anthony Fokker conceived and built his flying machines, sold them where he could, gave flying lessons, flew for a share of the gate before crowds every weekend, borrowed money, and spent it-and unsuccessfully sought orders for his machines from all the armies of Europe.
		Fokker, still only twenty-eight, had also built up a cash fortune of some 30,000,000 marks (about $7,000,000), and he was able to smuggle out most of this by converting it to foreign currency and packing it in old suitcases or aboard his yacht.

		Later on in the life of the Fokker F100, a smaller derivative, known as the Fokker F70, was produced.

		And again it was Fokker who, being an absolute success with his Fokker D.I, came up with ingenious fighter planes like the D.21 and G.I 'jachtkruiser'.
		That, with the demise of Fokker in 1996 after the take-over in 1993 by DASA Daimler Benz, is at least some comfort to many Dutch.

		It was these rugged, high aircraft that the great air explorers made famous: the U.S. Air Corp's Fokker T-2 which made the first nonstop transcontinental flight from New York to San Diego, Byrd's Fokkers which flew over the Poles, the great endurance flight of the Question Mark, and Kingsford Smith's Southern Cross.

		The problem of perfecting a machine gun that would synchronize its firing with the rotation of the propellers was the assignment given to Anthony Fokker.
		Fokker Eindekkers were armed with synchronized Spandau machine guns and roamed the skies virtually unopposed for a while.
		His attempts to set fire to his plane (as all pilots did when they crashed landed in enemy territory, so the enemy could not get their hands on their technology) were unsuccessful and his modified airscrew was quickly in the workshop of Anthony Fokker.
