Vintage Wings - Fokker Spin - 1910
*** Vintage Wings ***
Fokker Spin
The Fokker Spin was the first airplane built by dutch aviation pioneer Anthony Fokker in 1910, and gain the name due to the many bracing wires that made the aircraft resemble a giant spider (Spin is dutch for "spider").
After two previous aircraft lost in crashes, Fokker's third model gained fame in the Netherlands by flying around the tower of the Sint-Bavokerk in Haarlem on August 31, 1911, the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina. After this success he founded an aircraft factory and flight school near Berlin.
Until 1913 a total of 25 Fokker Spins were built (including a few two-seat variants), used mostly for pilot training.
The model represented is the 1910 aircraft, powered by an inline 4 cylinder Argus engine.
