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).
