EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Sabca-manufactured Fokker FVIIb-3ms aircraft, registered OO-AIH, is seen readying for takeoff at Brussels Airport. Produced by Sabca, the Belgian aerospace company, this particular Fokker model was a popular choice for European airlines during the interwar period. The FVIIb-3ms was a trimotor biplane, capable of carrying up to 12 passengers and a crew of three. The image captures the aircraft's elegant design, with its streamlined fuselage and distinctive wings, adorned with the Sabena logo and the Belgian flag. The night sky serves as a backdrop, adding a sense of mystery and adventure to the scene. The ground crew is busy preparing the aircraft for departure, ensuring that all systems are functioning correctly before the plane embarks on its nighttime journey to Cologne. The photograph is a testament to the golden age of aviation, an era when air travel was still a novelty and the skies were filled with biplanes and monoplanes, each with their unique charm and character. The Sabca-manufactured Fokker FVIIb-3ms, OO-AIH, is a prime example of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that defined the early days of aviation. Despite the passage of time, this photograph continues to transport us back to an era when air travel was a thrilling and romantic experience, filled with anticipation and excitement. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the remarkable achievements of the pioneers who made it possible.
