The Universal (no F designation) was the first type by the Atlantic Fokker company and lacked the cantilever wing of the European Fokkers, but fulfilled the needs of American aviation companies at the time. Aero Corporation of California was a flying school, workshop and regional distributor of Fokker. NC696 was the fourth Universal to pass through Aero and was used for demonstration and charter flights before delivery to Pacific Air Transport. Standard Airlines, active from late 1927, was a subsidiary of Aero. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum This photo was added on 26 December 2024, and has since been viewed 160 times. |
