Octavo, [iix], 282 pp., 15 photo plates; mild rubbing to spine and leather corners, gilt imprint on cloth in good condition, ex libris glued to marbled front endpaper, some foxing to preliminary leaves, leaves uncut, fine copy in 3/4 red leather and red cloth.

Anton Herman Gerard "Anthony" Fokker was a Dutch aviation pioneer and aircraft manufacturer. He is famous for the fighter aircraft he produced in Germany during the First World War. The treaty of Versailles forbade Germany to produce airplanes and Fokker moved his aircraft business to the Netherlands. There his company produced aircraft including the highly successful Fokker Trimotor passenger aircraft. Later biographers suggest he was charismatic but unscrupulous in business.
