Fokker succeeded in trying to gain a foothold in America when General Motors acquired 41 percent of the shares. This resulted in a capital injection. The "Fokker Aircraft Corporation of America" now became a part of the General Motors subsidiary: "General Aviation Corporation". The Fokker F-11 that served as the basis was rebuilt by General Aviation and became the General Aviation PJ-1, This was equipped with 2 Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp with an output of 420 hp. Five aircraft were built and sold only to the US Coastguard (USCG). The aircraft were not real amphibious aircraft. They had retractable landing gear and could also land on land. Here is the USCG's first built PJ-1, the Antaris (FLB-51).

Fokker F-11AHB with civilian registration NC127M was intended for civilian aviation. It is known to have the registration of Western Air Express but has probably never flown for it. There is no airline record of it. It was eventually sold to Garfield Wood for speedboat racing.

Desperate to get a foothold in America. The Fokker F-11 (B.IV) was later converted to a twin-engine F-11C with a Fokker F-32 engine installation (Pratt & Whitney R-1860 engine) in an effort to meet a US Coast Guard twin-engine flying boat specification.

Fokker was unsuccessful in the Dutch Navy with his flying boats B.I, B.II and B.III. He developed his version B.IIIc that could be used for reconnaissance and passenger flights. The Navy was not interested. For example, Fokker tried to sell the aircraft as an amphibian in the United States. Millionaire VanderBilt was eagerly looking for an 'Air Yacht' because his own flying boat had burned down and bought the B.IIIc Fokker renewed the B.IIIc with a high mounted wing and a new hull. This became the B.IV, in America the F.11. The prototype was later fitted with retractable landing gear and became the B.IVa (F.11a). Shown here is the B.IVa with registration NC7887, sold to VanderBilt in 1929.
