Fokker C.XIV

The Fokker C.XIV, also written CXIV-W, was a reconnaissance seaplane built in the Netherlands in the 1930s for the Royal Netherlands Navy. It was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span braced by N-struts, the pilot and observer sat in tandem open cockpits, and the undercarriage was a pair of pontoons. A single Wright R-975-E3 radial of 340 kW gave it a maximum speed of 230 km/h, and its armament was one fixed forward-firing and one trainable rearward-firing 7.9 mm FN-Browning machine gun. Twenty-four were produced; eleven were stationed in the Dutch East Indies, where they were joined by twelve aircraft that had escaped to the UK after the German invasion of 1940, and every C.XIV was destroyed during the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies.
