EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two iconic Fokker aircraft, the F.XXXVI "Arend" (Owl) and the F.XVIII "Pelikaan" (Pelican), are captured in a striking side-by-side arrangement. The F.XXXVI Arend, with its distinctive all-wood wings, is positioned in front, while the F.XVIII Pelikaan follows behind. Both aircraft bear the distinctive orange and blue livery of the Dutch national carrier, KLM. The Fokker F.XXXVI Arend, with its first flight taking place on June 22, 1934, was a remarkable aircraft for its time, featuring advanced design elements such as a monocoque fuselage and retractable landing gear. Only one example of this aircraft was ever built, making it a rare and valuable piece of aviation history. The Fokker F.XVIII Pelikaan, on the other hand, was a more common sight in the skies during the 1930s. With its distinctive gull-wing design and open cockpit, it was a popular choice for both military and civilian use. This photograph, taken circa 1935, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of aviation history. The birds-eye view perspective adds to the sense of wonder and excitement surrounding these early aircraft, as they continue to captivate our imaginations with their sleek lines and innovative design. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty of historical artifacts, this photograph is a must-have addition to any collection. The Fokker F.XXXVI Arend and F.XVIII Pelikaan represent a bygone era of aviation, one filled with innovation, adventure, and the spirit of exploration.
