The Fokker E.V was a German parasol-monoplane fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz and built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The E.V was the last Fokker design to become operational with the Luftstreitkräfte , entering service in the last months of World War I .
The M.19 featured the Oberursel U.III 14-cylinder, two-row rotary engine, combined with the two-bay wing cellule of the Fokker D.I. [1] The U.III engine, first used in the Fokker E.IV, required a revised fore-and-aft mount and a strengthened fuselage. [1] The prototype M.19 arrived at Adlershof for testing on 20 July 1916.
In 1915, the Fokker E.I was the first fighter armed with a synchronized machine gun firing through the propeller, achieving air superiority during the Fokker Scourge. Manfred von Richthofen ("The Red Baron," the top scoring World War I ace) is associated with an all-red Fokker Dr.I triplane, at least for some of his 80 victories (1917–1918)

It entered the Second Fighter Competition in June 1918 against the famous Fokker E.V monoplane and other designs. Although generally similar to the Fokker D.VII in looks and performance, the D.XII was widely considered to be inferior in handling characteristics and difficult to land. Nevertheless, the D.XII was ordered into production, and ...
The kit is made up of twelve sub-kits. The Airdrome Fokker D-VI has a wingspan of 17.9 ft (5.5 m) and a wing area of 110 sq ft (10 m 2). It can be equipped with engines ranging from 46 to 65 hp (34 to 48 kW). The standard engine is the 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 two stroke engine, with a Volkswagen air-cooled engine optional.

With only a population of five known to be in existence, this nickel — produced by the Philadelphia Mint and designed by Charles E. Barber — set a record price of $4.56 million when sold in ...
Among Palen's earliest additions to the museum in the mid-1960s was a Fokker Triplane reproduction, powered with a vintage Le Rhône 9J 110 hp rotary engine. It was built by Cole Palen for flight in his weekend airshows as early as 1967 and actively flown (mostly by Cole Palen) in the weekend airshows at Old Rhinebeck until the late 1980s. [13]
