EDITORS COMMENTS
PH-AFK, a beautifully preserved Fokker F.VIIa/3m 'Friendship' biplane, is a captivating sight in this vintage photograph. The Fokker F.VIIa, manufactured by the Dutch aircraft company Fokker, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the 1920s. Its innovative features, such as a fully enclosed cabin and retractable landing gear, made it a popular choice among private aviators and early airlines. This particular aircraft, PH-AFK, was registered in the Netherlands and is seen here in pristine condition, adorned with the Dutch flag on its rudder. The Fokker F.VIIa's distinctive design, with its elegant curves and streamlined shape, is on full display in this image. The biplane's wings are spread wide, ready for takeoff, while the propellers churn up the water below, creating a gentle spray. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when air travel was a thrilling and daring adventure. The open cockpit, visible in the foreground, offers a glimpse into the past, where pilots braved the elements and navigated by the stars. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the pioneering spirit that drove early aviators to push the boundaries of what was possible. Today, PH-AFK is a cherished piece of history, preserved for future generations to marvel at the ingenuity and passion of those who came before us. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the thrill of flight.
