After the Spin I and II were wrecked by his business partner, Anthony Fokker flew the Spin III around the Grote of Sint-Bavokerk in Haarlem on September 1, 1911. After this success, Fokker realized a factory and school in Berlin. In 1912-1913, 25 aircraft were built. This is one of the last built in 1913 and taken to The Netherlands after WWI. The aircraft wasn't complete, but resotred in the 1920's. Looted by the Germans during WWII. Taken to Poland after the war. Back to The Netherlands in 1986 and restored at Fokker. The Aviodrome owns another example, which was built by Fokker in 1936. This photo is copyright © Kas van Zonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
