Fokker C.IV

The Fokker C.IV was a Dutch two-seat reconnaissance biplane of the 1920s, designed and built by Fokker as a larger and more robust development of the earlier C.I. It had a fixed tailwheel undercarriage with a wider track and a wider fuselage than the C.I, and was originally powered by the 336 kW Napier Lion piston engine. Examples went to the Dutch Army Air Corps (30 aircraft) and the Dutch East Indies Army (10), and it was exported to the Soviet Union (55) and the United States Army Air Service (eight), while Spain built twenty under licence. After reconnaissance service the aircraft served as trainers into the 1930s, and a preserved C.IVa is at the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Maine.
