Given any (2, 4)-elliptic surface with nine smooth rational curves, eight (−2)-curves and one (−3)-curve, forming a Dynkin diagram of type [2, 2][2, 2][2, 2][2, 2, 3], we show that a fake projective plane can be constructed from it by taking a degree 3 cover and then a degree 7 cover. We also determine the types of singular fibres of such a (2, 4)-elliptic surface.
