In 1924 the very first flight from the Netherlands to the Dutch East Indies was undertaken. That happened with a single-engine Fokker F-VII
The Fokker F-VII is therefore the central theme on this board.
The H-NACC is one of the most famous aircraft by being the first aircraft to make the long journey to Batavia (Dutch East Indies) in 1924 and thereby writing history.
