D.II
Fokker D.II
The Fokker monoplanes were popular with the German pilots, but that was slightly different with the subsequent biplanes.
In terms of performance, the Fokker D.II and D.III had to recognize their superiority in competitors such as the Halberstadt D.II and the Albatros fighters.
The quality of the Fokker biplanes also left a lot to be desired, partly due to poor workmanship.
Also, the Fokker factory was not set up at that time to produce large numbers of aircraft of different types.
In early December 1916, all Fokker biplanes were taken out of service due to structural defects in the aircraft.
In addition to the German army, the Austro-Hungarian army also employed the D.II.
The D.II was equipped with a 100 hp 9-cylinder Oberursel U I rotary engine and was armed with one Spandau LMG.8 machine gun.
