"The Fokker F-32 was truly the "Jumbo" of the 1930s era. " - wrote Ed Coates, a celebrated collector of aircraft images & data. - "This machine was the largest transport aircraft of its time and seated 32 passengers in (for the day) luxury accommodations. WAE purchased two of them but they proved to be a bad investment as mechanical difficulties coupled with the economic conditions of the Depression era could not support this type of airliner. The historic image below shows the aircraft upon its arrival at the new Alhambra Airport in March of 1930. "
