This is in-depth research at its best. Not known this before. Good luck with applying the rivets.

The Fokker B-III was a real flying boat, compared to the Fokker B.I and B.II, and was intended for long-range reconnaissance. The first flight took place on November 10, 1926, after which the aircraft was presented to the Marine Aviation Service (MLD). However, They were not interested in the plane because they were already participating in the Dornier Do Wal. After this, the aircraft was converted for passenger transport. Here is the profile from the Fokker B.III.

Fokker B.II
After the Fokker B.I Fokker developed a light sea explorer that was designed as a seaplane. It was smaller than the Fokker B.I and had a stronger engine the Rolls Royce Eagle VIII rated 360 hp. One of the requirements was that the device should be suitable for a catapult start from ships. On December 15, 1923, the first flight took place from Naval Air Base Schellingwoude near Amsterdam. The B.II was tested by the Naval Aviation Service (MLD). The MLD didn't purchased the flying boat. It did not meet the requirements of the MLD. The aircraft was later scrapped. Here is the profile I made of it.

Due to the foundation of the LA (Luchtafdeling - Air Department) of the ML-KNIL in Dutch East Indies there was a need for training pilots. That is why Type TT aircraft were ordered from Martin and were delivered in March 1917. Again, it appeared that not all Hall-Scott engines were satisfactory. The last two delivered TT training aircraft (TT-5 and TT-6) were more satisfactory and the training of pilots was started at Kalidjati on Java in the Dutch East Indies. Later, all TTs were fenced into land planes. Here is the profile of the TT-6 with floats from 1917. Also here with the orange roundel and a small number six on the hull.

Warplane Art / Glenn Martin type TA & TT
« on: August 02, 2020, 03:36:14 PM »
In 1913 the PVA ((ProefVliegAfdeeling = Test Flight Department) of the KNIL (Royal Netherlands-Indies Army) was founded. After a couple less successful tests with different aircraft, two Martin TA (Tractor Army) were ordered in may 1915 at the Glenn L . Martin Company. The first one was delivered in June 1915 and was registered with the serial-number TA-1. Only the digit 1 was painted on the tailwing. In November 1915 Lt.Flyer Henk Ter Poorten made the first flight with the TA-1 from Tandjong Priok to Rawah Penganongan on Java. The Martin TA was equipped with the Hall-Scott Type 5-A5 engine with 100 HP. The engine was to slow to fly with two persons and was later replaced by the 140HP engine.
With the succes of the TA-1 planes the PVA was dissolved and replaced by the founding of the LA (Luchtafdeling-Air department ) of the KNIL. Here is the photograph from that first flight and the profile I made of it.
