Fokker V.23

Monoplane


The V.23 was a single seat monoplane with cantilever mid-wing 

Despite the rejection of the Fokker V.17 and Fokker V.20, Fokker continued the development of the mid-wing, cantilever monoplane fighter.

 

It had the familiar mixed construction. The German military rejected the V.23 on sight, claiming that the cockpit offered inadequate forward view.
