Great stuff! I particularly like the position the aircraft is in, you don't see drawings like this often!

Don't know which, though  :-red

Did you hear of the C-47 of the Bevrijdende Vleugels museum?

Looking good there Srecko! A possible camouflage may have been overall beige with green spots (a bit like the Italian camouflage style)

Warplane Art / Fokker C.5 drawings
« on: February 26, 2010, 10:49:12 PM »
Srecko and I have been working on a series of profiles for the Fokker C.5. That's because I have written a book about this important Dutch aircraft.

The C.5 proves to be a difficult aircraft, since there are so many variants! This became apparent once we started work.

My book will be available in august of this year and will be titled "Fokker C.5 - ontwikkeling, gebruik en ondergang" (design, operational use and destruction) and deals with the Dutch use of the aircraft. Later this year, or early 2011 I will finish a book about the international use of the Fokker C.5!

I will keep you updated when there is news!

Here are some impressions of the work we have done;

Work started with an old Fokker drawing;

On which a big amount of drawings was based;

And the first variant is finished!

Forums Works / May I introduce...
« on: November 20, 2009, 11:29:45 PM »
Myself... here on this forum I am called G-1reaper, my username is derived from the twinboom Fokker G-1 aircraft, an aircraft I admire and love deeply  :-obey I am secretary of the Fokker G-1 foundation (stichting, in Dutch) which researches this plane.

In my scarse free time I have also written a book about another Fokker, the Fokker C.5 reconnaisance plane. It is not yet completely finished, and I hope to conclude a deal with a printer soon.

I am especially interested in prewar (Dutch) aviation, also like to listen to some oddball music (METAL!  :-evil), like to relax in Italy, and visit airshows once in a while. Oh, and my real name is Edwin
