Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents
This single-item collection consists of one 6.5 x 8.6 inch black and white gelatin silver print photograph, a group view of four men posed standing beside the left side of the nose of a Fokker F.VIIA-3m in Fokker company livery; left to right: Kenneth Judson "Boedy" Boedecker, John McPhail, Anthony H. G. "Tony" Fokker, and Wilmer Stulz. This photograph has been autographed by K. J. "Spoons" Boedecker, J. Mc Phail, [and] Fokker; dated 1925. Reverse of print is annotated by hand: "K. J. Boedecker (Wright Aeronautical Corp. Field Service Engineer), J. Mc Phail (Fokker Aircraft Corp. - Engineer), A. H. G. Fokker (Designer & owner), Wm. Stultz (Pilot)." This photograph by Pacific & Atlantic Photos, Inc. was likely taken in the New York City area prior to the Fokker's departure to take part in the 1925 Ford Commercial Airplane Reliability Tour. Stultz was not the pilot for the Fokker F.VIIA-3m (Tour No. 20) but did pilot a single-engine Fokker (Tour No. 18) which crashed en route from Long Island, New York, to the Tour's starting point in Dearborn, Michigan.
