I never heard of this plane, the Fokker G1, but apparently it was used by the Dutch. What type of airplane was it and what did it do?

Best Regards, David

Thanks David, great info! All I had was a picture of one that had been shot down and crashed! The specs look pretty decent for an early war twin-engined plane. That Madsen cannon must have made quite an impression on folks of that era, as I recall, there was an armored vehicle that was supposed to use it as well.

Best Regards, David

That is a great link Juha!! Many thanks! This airplane is remarkably interesting, especially since I know next to nothing about Fokker after WWI.

Best Regards, David
