FOKKER'S FIRST FLIGHT IN ENGLAND: The upper photograph shows the first start, which was unsuccessful. For the next start the machine was towed by a motor-car, and the machine got into the air as shown in the lower picture.

Anthony Fokker's method of transport: The biplane glider is placed on a plank resting on the sides of the car, and the machine is lightly braced fore and aft by two ropes.
