To answer the question raised by Andy Preston (Flight International, 13-19 January): Fokker Aviatik GmbH was founded by Anthony Fokker in 1912 in Berlin. In 1919, the Versailles Treaty prohibited any further production of aircraft in Germany. Fokker, a Dutch citizen, therefore founded another company in the Netherlands, which was unrelated to the German one. The Dutch company was ancestor to the modern Fokker corporation.
