	Fokker Dr.1 35"
		The development of the Fokker Triplane was requested by von Richtofen when he noticed the Sopwith Triplane's superior rate of climb and performance in combat.
		As was common in aircraft companies of the period, Fokker's practice was to submit sketches to his craftsmen for prototype development of new types.
		The Fokker Triplane fleet was grounded and production was halted until early December.

	Fokker Dr 1 Information
		He was killed in his Fokker Dr 1 whilst chasing a novice pilot fairly low to the ground by a single shot in the heart by either a Canadian Pilot, Australian machine gunners or by ground troops.
		The Fokker Dr 1 was a successful plane because it was small and had 3 wings and a supplementary airfoil on the undercarriage.
		However, the Fokker Dr 1 was not without problems, some reasons why it did not succeed was because of the poor wing design which led to the temporary withdrawal from service by the end of October 1917.

		Anthony Herman Gerard Fokker was born on the sixth of April 1890 in Blitar in Indonesia, the former Dutch Indies.
		Fokker shared in the publicity of this flight because this Fokker F.VIIb/3m was a normal civil airplane and not a special airplane which was special designed for record flights.
		Fokker managed to bring airplanes which were unfinished or not yet delivered to Holland by boat and train.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Anton Fokker
		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'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.
		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 dvii
		Fokker's ego and dominating personality frequently led him to understate Platz's role as the genuine innovator of the designs that bore the Fokker name, and he took undue credit for himself.
		The Fokker D.VII was brought to the United States after the war and given to the Smithsonian Institution by the War Department in 1920.
		Moreover, Fokker understood better than any of his competitors that overall performance was more important in a fighter aircraft than exceptional performance in one or two areas, such as speed or climb rate.

	AVSIM Freeware Aircraft Package Review: Fokker F70/F100
		Later on in the life of the Fokker F100, a smaller derivative, known as the Fokker F70, was produced.
		Fokker went on to develop many successful World War I fighter aircraft, particularly the superlative Fokker D.VII and the DR.I, known as the "Red-Baron" (see Avsim's recent review of SimTech's DR-1 Deluxe).
		From 1919 onwards, Fokker started making inroads into civil aviation with the four-seater F.II, Fokker's first aircraft built specifically for passenger transport.

	Fokker FXVIII
		The Fokker FVXIII was the last in the very successful tri-motor line starting with the FVIIa, used by KLM to open the "East India" route Amsterdam-Batavia in 1924.
		In 1939 Fokker designed the all-metal high-wing F-24, which was never built either, but some twenty years later formed the base for the F-27 "Friendship".
		However, the F-XVIIIs were still flying in 1948, when PanAm flew to Curaçao with Boeing Stratocruisers and KLM from Amsterdam with Lockheed Constellations; and elsewhere well into the 1950s.

	Airliners.net: Fokker 70
		Fokker began development of the new derivative airliner in November 1992 despite the absence of firm orders, hopeful of snaring a large share of the forecast 2000 plus aircraft in the 70 to 125 seat class required through to 2010, and the replacement F-28 market.
		The Fokker 70's 30.91m (101ft 4in) length is close to that of the F-28-4000's 29.61m (97ft 2in), on which the Fokker 100 was originally based.
		The Fokker 70 was offered with two flightdecks, one optimised for the 70's regional airline operations, the other essentially identical to the Fokker 100's to give operators of both types commonality.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Project Fokker 100/70
		Fokker Industries became legend, and while the Fokker models flying today are slowly meeting their day of retirement, it was time that others had the chance to fly them too.
		The Fokker 70 was tested with my trusty computer, which worked hard to run FS2002 and to show the beautiful model on my PC screen.
		Project Fokker 100/70 promised a new panel will be ready Spring 2003, but this panel is already very good.

	Building the Fokker.
		The Eindecker (one wing) was the first of four very different designs that Fokker came out with during WW-I. The Eindecker of 1915 was followed by the Dreidecker or Triplane (with three wings) made famous by the Red Baron in 1916.
		While the Fokker was cavorting in the air, the announcer would spin a tale of how a German pilot ran out of fuel and landed it behind the enemy lines in France.
		I had built many model airplanes as a kid and building the Fokker was more or less the same except on a full size scale.

	Fokker-built DC-3,Herman De Wulf
		The first such Fokker DC-2 was delivered on 25 August 1934 and left New York aboard the Dutch vessel SS Statendam on 11 September 1934.
		Anthony Fokker, the well-know Dutch aircraft manufacturer who in the Thirties was building his own popular family of conventional (of wood and fabric) airliners, had met Donald Douglas in 1933 at Santa Monica while having a look at the prototype DC-1 and both men became friends.
		Recent research learned however that Fokker delivered a 14th DC-3 in the opening days of WW II which is apparently missing from official documents.
