Fokker |
|
Fokker was a Dutch aircraft
manufacturer named after its founder, Anthony Fokker. The company
operated under several different names, starting out in 1912
in Schwerin, Germany, moving to the Netherlands in 1919. During
its most successful period in the 1920s and 1930s, it dominated
the civil aviation market. Fokker went into bankruptcy in 1996,
and its operations were sold to competitors. |
