[edit] History

The company was formed in 1917 by Samuel Waring who employed Frederick Koolhoven as his Chief Designer, and Robert Noorduyn as the Chief Draughtsman. Koolhoven's first design for the company was the F.K.22 fighter. In 1919 Lord Waring reduced his aviation interests and this forced the closure of the company. The fourth F.K.26 was the last aircraft built by the company.
