New York, July 3 —When two de- partment of commerce inspec#ors pulled Anthony H. G. Fokker out of the air for stunting low over Roosevelt field they brought to light the startling fact that one of the old- | es fliers in the world had neglected to provide himself with so much as an”amateur’s license. Not that the rotund little Dutch pilot is old in years; he's only 40. But he's been flving for 19 of these | 40 he's one of the few old timers who stayed in the skies in ad of settling into some more € jobs on the ground He was telling about that st flight of his recently, the first flight of a venturesome youth in a patched together contraption in days when flying was a joke not a very funny joke, at that “How did you go aho one ask “Did to teach you?" Fokker, red faghd tly bald, brusque of manner, grunted with ex- asperation. “Teach me,” heexploded. was there in 1911 to tes how to fly, huh?” Held License No. i His license with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale the nddaddy of all air ng bod- e 0. which pretwy well dates him as a veteran of the clouds. He didn't stay merely a flier very long, however, for after every time he would take up one of those an- cient crates for a creaking spin across the hlue, a procession of ghostly planes would float across the vivid and imaginative screen of his mind. He began to transfer these dreams to paper, and soon he knew that his real vocation was found. He was a born designer Since that time an estimated 50,- 000 planes have heen huilt to his de- sign in this country and abroad, in peace and war, and all the time he kept on flying, testing his own ships, weighing them and finding them for- ever wanting, lacking still something of his engineer's ideal. And so he kept on huilding and kept on flying, and is keeping on at hoth today. Becomes Too Exuberant Yet when he got just a hit over- enthusiastic on secing his Southern Cross take off for the west yesterday and staged an aerial fandango so | close to the dusty floor of Roosevelt field that inspectors waved him down d it was found he didn't have a license Well, here's how th as near as vou facts that have box so far Afte ker pla hac 1 lar in the German & allies had decl an tit?" some- you got someone “Who h anybody that t came at can tell leak Fok- = part ve after the Dutch de- pply them for use 1 powers, Fokker came to America and set himself up in business. 1t was hard sledding in the aviation world en, as it generally has heen w > ex-, ceptions before and since, and prob- ably the little flying Dutchman just ad too much s mind to think such ma At any rate he apparently ne, not then or later. 1 story goes, t erce began didn't in due time was gbing to papers.
