A person named H.G. Fokker competed in the 6 Metre class during the sailing of the 1928 Summer olympics in Amsterdam. Knowing that Fokker was a yachtsman and age and background fit, can anyone confirm of deny that this person was the famous Antony Fokker?NED33 (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I very much doubt it:Fokker makes no mention of it in his astonishingly self-aggrandising autobiography.TheLongTone (talk) 09:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. The Sailor involved is Hans FokkerNED33 (talk) 13:19, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By no means impossible that Fokker fathered a few, in fact it would probably have been in character, but we do need a "real" source. The one given by the person who inserted this "fact" is not a very reliable one - most of its content is a direct lift from the infamous "autobiography" - and, much more serious, it contains no mention of any Fokker offspring - legitimate or otherwise. So, with some regret, no, we can't have it here. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 19:54, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Was it Blitar or Kediri? Hegner (generally a very good source, if an old one) actually has "Blitar, Kediri", as if one place were a suburb or very close neighbour of the other. Has someone with a better knowledge of the geography of East Java than I a better idea? Remembering we're talking about colonial Java nearly a hundred and twenty years ago, and there have no doubt been many changes since then. Does either city administration (assuming the two places both have one) actually claim him as a famous "son"? -Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:10, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
