Physical Description:
A view of the globe is presented as if seen from outer space; a starlit sky fills in the spaces around the globe which shows the route map; a Fokker F-XXXVI flies out of the page, below the central text block; inset is key to routes of all airlines operating in the area described; airplane is registered as PH-AJA; blue, orange, yellow and black ink on paper.
In the hopes of improving service on the Amsterdam-Batavia route, KLM commissioned Fokker to design an update for the Fokker F-XVIII. By the time the airplane was delivered to KLM in 1935, the advent of the Douglas DC-2 had eclipsed the airplane. Only one Fokker F-XXXVI was produced.
