D.VI
Fokker D.VI
At the end of 1917, the “Fokker Flugzeugwerke” built two small biplane prototypes designated V.13.
The planes were actually built from a number of pre-existing components.
Miniaturized D.VII wings, fuselage and tail of the first version of a Dr.I and a 110 hp Oberursel Ur II rotary engine, formed the first prototype.
The second prototype was equipped with a 160 hp Siemens-Halske Sh. III rotary engine.
The D.VI was equipped with the standard armament; two 7.92 mm LMG 08/15 Spandau machine guns.
On March 15, 1918, the V.13 was approved by the Idflieg and received the type designation D.VI for the German army.
Fokker was contracted to supply 59 aircraft that were supplied with the 110 hp Oberursel Ur II on delivery, seven of which went to the Austro-Hungarian army.
The D.VI has only been used for a short time, both at the front and as a trainer. From the prototype in late 1917 to the end of World War I in November 1918.
