Fokker D.V

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fokker D.V
Type Fighter
Manufacturer Fokker-Flugzeugwerke
Designed by Martin Kreutzer

The Fokker D.V, was a German biplane fighter of World War I, a development of the previous D.III. It may be identified by the swept back upper wing. Performance was very inferior to the Albatros fighters. Fokker sold 216 to the German Army as trainers. It was also the last Fokker design to be primarily created by Martin Kreutzer, as his death, in an aircraft crash, came not long after the D.V was placed into service.
