| Biplane reconaissance aircraft |
|---|
Biplane reconaissance aircraft, very obviously a development of the Fokker D.7. fighter. The C.1. was too late to enter service with the German air force. After the end of WWI, Anthony Fokker managed to transfer a number of aircraft and spare parts to the Netherlands. The photo left shows one of these smuggled aircrafts, the 541 which has a flightcover for instrumenttraining purposes. |

250 were totally build, including 42 for the Soviet air force and 62 for the Dutch air force. Function: reconaissance 16 aircraft ordered by Dutch Airforce at 22 February 1919. Serialled F-1 to F-16. Used in 1920s in 2-seat recce role, later advanced trainer. Last one remained in use as a trainer until 1936.
