A classic view of the business end of a Fokker trimotor! This F.VIIb/3m c/n 5286 PH-AGX was leased to Air Orient in 1931/2 but can clearly be seen to carry the name "La Courageuse" that is usually associated with later ownership by Air France.

Van Lear Black obtained F.VIIb/3m c/n 5105 G-AADZ ex PH-ADP for a touring flight to Japan but this aircraft met its end in an accident in India on 10.6.29. Black's earlier manipulations of the Netherlands registration authorities were continued in Britain where he obtained G-AADZ a second time for c/n 5195 ex PH-AGP. "Maryland Free State" (2) finally reached Japan on 7.4.30. Shown above is c/n 5195, the earlier aircraft being distinguishable by the national "G" worn on the rudder and tail.

Faired covers were fitted over the top three cylinders to prevent oil from being blown back onto the windscreen. Standard on all the F.VII series was the covered-in cockpit roof with open sides.
