Story

The founders of Dutch aviation, the idealistic Albert Plesman and opportunistic Anthony Fokker, are inextricably linked to each other. As the world recovers from one war and prepares for the next these two opposite personalities struggle to make the Netherlands a significant player in civil aviation and establish global brands that are still around today.

The series is developed with the support of the NPO Fund, the Creative Europe Programme – MEDIA of the European Union and the Netherlands Production Incentive for high-end TV-series.
