This aircraft was registered to Western Air Express which owned West Coast Air Transport. It was written off at Love Field, Texas, not long after being sold. The small railroad town Montague was a stop on the airline's Seattle-Oakland service via Portland. There was not a ticket office in Montague, which was noted for its cattle industry.

The crash of this F.10 airframe in Kansas one year later accelerated Anthony Fokker's downfall in the USA as one of the eight victims was celebrity football coach Knute Rockne. The Fokker's wooden wing presumably failed due to moisture damage. Western Air Express had by then become part of TWA. Probably as a result of the merger, the brand new airport built by WAE here at Alhambra, near LA, was abandoned. Photo by: G Haven Bishop / The Huntington Library
