Summary
From the film: "On November 11, 1918, the Germans laid down their arms, finally ending World War I. In the surrender agreement, the Allies listed the numbers of cannons, machine guns and other weapons that Germany had to turn over. Yet of 1,700 airplanes demanded, only one type was so feared that it was mentioned by name: the D-7. The deadly machine was the masterwork of a 28 year-old Dutchman who had become Germany's most skilled -- and unconventional -- plane maker: Anthony Fokker."
The film traces the life and work of one of the most important and idiosyncratic innovators in the early history of aviation. Anthony Fokker's career stretched the period from shortly after the Wright Brothers' first flight to the birth and spread of modern aviation three decades later.
