Singapore, March 21, In order to meet the still greater need for more comfortable and faster aeroplanes on the Europese air lines, the KLM, ordered in the autumn of 1933 three new Fokker monoplanes of the FXXII type, and there is no doubt that this type of machine represents a great advance in speed, economy, com- fort and safety.
