Fokker D.XXI

Military Aircraft

The Fokker D.XXI is a Dutch single-seat fighter designed by Fokker in 1935 to a requirement of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force. It was planned as an inexpensive, rugged and compact fighter with respectable performance for its era: a low-wing monoplane with an enclosed cockpit, fixed undercarriage and a Bristol Mercury radial engine. The prototype first flew at Welschap Airfield, Eindhoven, on 27 March 1936. The Dutch army aviation group ordered 36, the Finnish Air Force bought and later built the type under licence, and a few were made in Spain during the Civil War. Dutch and Finnish D.XXIs saw combat in the Second World War, and captured Dutch aircraft served briefly with the Luftwaffe.
