History The first Fokker Spin was the first aircraft which Anthony Fokker built in collaboration with Jacob Goedecker and business partner Franz von Daum in 1910. The many bracing wires made the aircraft look like a giant spider, giving it the name of Spin (Dutch for "spider"). This first Spin was destroyed when von Daum flew it into a tree.
