  The eta pi^+ pi^- final state in two-photon collisions is studied with the L3
detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV with an
integrated luminosity of 664.6/pb. The f_1(1285) meson is observed and the Q^2
dependence of its production is compared to different form factor models. The
gamma-gamma coupling parameter is found to be 3.5 +/- 0.6(stat.) +/- 0.5(sys.)
keV. The branching fraction (f_1(1285) -> a_0 pi) / (f_1(1285) -> eta pi pi) is
also measured.
