Anton Herman Gerard "Anthony" Fokker (6 April 1890 – 23 December 1939) was a Dutch aviation pioneer, aviation entrepreneur, aircraft designer, and aircraft manufacturer. He produced fighter aircraft in Germany during the First World War such as the Eindecker monoplanes, the Dr.1 triplane and the D.VII biplane.

After the Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany to produce aircraft, Fokker moved his business to the Netherlands. There, his company was responsible for a variety of successful aircraft including the Fokker F.VII/3m trimotor, a successful interwar passenger aircraft. He died in New York in 1939. Later authors suggest he was personally charismatic but unscrupulous in business and a controversial character.

Wilhelm Heinrich Evers:  (1884-1960). lived in Nieder Elbe, Germany. He first soloed on October 6, 1910 in a monoplane of his own design at Lamstedt N.E. Gernany, and is the holder of F.A.I. license No. 190.

     Mr. Evers kept on flying, designing, and building 6 ships from 25 to 50 horsepower EI to EG, until 1912, each displaying good flying qualities. Late in 1912 he became connected with Tom W. Benoist at St. Louis, Mo. in the Benoist Aircraft Co. doing flying and designing work. On January 1, 1913 he opened the first airline in the world at St. Petersburg, Florida, flying on schedule to and from every train at Tampa with passengers, flowers and fruit. He kept on in aviation until 1945. At that time he was called as an interpreter to the U. S. Military Government at Bernberg, where he was manager of an engineering office of the Junkers airplane concern.
