These are all new to me, but then again I never sought out that many photos of Fokker before.
ok! why does this keep getting deleted. This is an (un) finished colorized mr.Fokker, i need to finish the background and edit him a bit. i was wondering if any one of you guys had any suggestions for it.
Is this the one with perfect fingers? Mr. Fokker is growing on me more and more, and I blame you XD
Anthony Fokker seated in his Eindecker M.5, the forerunner of the E.I fighter. The M.5 was light, strong and manuverable, capable of aerobatics. Fokker himself performed in the M.5 at Johannisthal in May and June 1914, winning a number of awards.
Anthony Fokker and a pilot i can not identify.
I think it’s Arthur Laumann (I cheated, by the way - Google similar image search :D)
Anthony (Tony) Fokker was born in Blitar (then Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia), to Herman Fokker, a Dutch coffee plantationowner. Some sources say that he was born in Kediri. At that time, Blitar was a part of the ‘Kediri Residency’, a colonial administrative division the capital of which was in Kediri. When Fokker was four the family returned to the Netherlandsand settled in Haarlemin order to provide Fokker and his older sister, Toos, with a Dutch upbringing.
Fokker was not a studious boy and did not complete his high school education but he showed an early interest in mechanics, and preferred making things, playing with model trains and steam engines.and experimenting with model aeroplane designs. He devoted considerable effort to the development of a wheel that would not suffer from punctures, basically a wheel with a perimeter formed by a series of metal plates, This idea had been experimented with elsewhere and was already patented.
Woah, that sounded way dirtier than I meant it to…
