Sesquiplane fighter, a development of the Fokker D.11., build in the Netherlands

The official customer for this type was Argentina, but they really were intended for the reborn, still illegal German Luftwaffe on bases in Russia.

A total of 52 were delivered.

When Germany abandoned Lipetsk in 1933, the remaining 30 were handed over to the USSR.
