General Characteristics

The Fokker C.V was a highly successful Dutch two-seat biplane developed in the mid-1920s by Anthony Fokker. It was designed as a versatile multi-role military aircraft—primarily for reconnaissance and light bombing—and became one of Fokker’s best export successes of the interwar period. The C.V was famous for its interchangeability, as customers could select from five different wing sets (A, B, C, D, and E, varying in span and area) and a wide range of engines to tailor the aircraft to specific roles, such as fighter escort (C.V-D) or light bomber (C.V-E). Over 950 were built in total, including extensive license production in countries like Sweden, Switzerland, and Italy (as the Romeo Ro.1). The aircraft served with many air forces, with some examples still operational during the early stages of World War II.

  • Maximum Speed (C.V-E): ~230 km/h (143 mph).
  • Service Ceiling: Up to 7,100 m (23,300 ft).
  • Key Design Feature: The fuselage was constructed from welded steel tubing covered with fabric, a signature Fokker technique from WWI, noted for its strength and ease of maintenance.

Armament and Operational History

  • Armament (Standard):
    • 1 or 2 x 7.9 mm synchronized machine guns (fixed, forward-firing, for the pilot).
    • 1 x 7.9 mm machine gun on a flexible mount (for the observer/gunner in the rear cockpit).
  • Ordnance: Typically up to 200 kg (440 lb) of bombs carried under the wings.
  • Operational Use: Served with over a dozen air forces, including the Royal Netherlands Air Force (LVA), Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Switzerland.
  • WWII Service: Despite being obsolete, C.V aircraft in Norwegian and Dutch service saw action in the 1940 campaigns against the German invasion, primarily for reconnaissance and light ground support. The Finnish Air Force also used C.V-Es in combat.
