Description

The Fokker C.XIw: A Dutch Naval Aircraft of War and Reconnaissance. Developed in early 1934, the sturdy biplane scout was designed for service with the Royal Netherlands Navy. Its innovative catapult launch system made it an ideal aircraft for long-range reconnaissance missions. Fifteen examples were ordered, serving from 1936 to 1942, primarily in the Netherlands Indies. Operated aboard illustrious ships such as cruisers De Ruyter, Java, and Tromp, the Fokker C.XIw played a significant role in the Dutch East Indies Squadron's operations. Its unique capabilities made it an essential asset for the fleet during this period. This book provides a detailed look at the Fokker C.XIw, its development, and its service history with the Royal Netherlands Navy.
