Title: Fokker D.XVII
Post by: No.1 on September 05, 2011, 05:23:17 PM

Fokker D.XVII, was a Dutch biplane created by Fokker. On 18 January 1935, it broke a high-altitude record, flown by Luitenant René Wittert van Hoogland. Although many pilots noted it was a nice plane, it suffered several setbacks and numerous problems resulting in many accidents, most of them during take-off or landing when the plane flipped over.

In May 1939, the aircraft was considered obsolete and used as fight pilot training for the LVA Flying School.

The D.XVII saw very limited combat during the Battle of the Netherlands, and when the Dutch surrendered to the Germans, the remaining aircraft were burned.

Airspeed Ltd. in Great Britain arranged a license to build D.XVIIs for the British market as the Airspeed AS.17, but no orders were received.

I think you are right, my perception of reality is different. Since I draw from my 16, first drawings published in 1992 (next year my 20. Anniversary of active authors and research work), this really look easy to me. Actually not hard but need much attention and care.

This machine was completed in two versions. More will to come.

Yes it looks simple, but there is big work. You perfected that through the years. I tell you, I have a wish to do one drawing, once, and to try to make a profile, or something... but I need to find time... :-think :)
