Bombing Delivered Destroyed Fokker Fviia Gnome Jupiter Radial Remained 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases KLM's historical first Fokker FVIIa aircraft, registered as H-NACT, which took to the skies in October 1925. Powered by a Gnome Rhône Jupiter VI radial engine, this vintage aircraft was a significant addition to KLM's growing fleet. The FVIIa was a versatile transport plane, capable of carrying passengers and cargo, and played a crucial role in expanding the reach of air travel during the interwar period. Despite its impressive service history, H-NACT's tenure with KLM came to an unfortunate end in May 1940, when it was destroyed during a German bombing raid. The image encapsulates the spirit of aviation's early days, a time of innovation and exploration, as well as the challenges and risks inherent in pushing the boundaries of human flight. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the indomitable human spirit that drives it forward.
