The Fokker D.II was a German fighter biplane of World War I. It was a single-seat fighter aircraft developed before the Fokker D.I. It was based on the M.17 prototype, with single-bay unstaggered wings and a larger fuselage and shorter span than production D.IIs.

The D.II was equipped with a nine-cylinder Oberursel UI rotary engine of 100 hp and was armed with a single Spandau LMG.8 machine gun. In 1916, another D.II built in 1915 was interned by the Swiss Air Force (Schweizer Luftwaffe).

The Fokker D.I (company designation M.18) was a development of the D.II fighter. The D.I was also flown in Austro-Hungarian service as a fighter trainer aircraft under the designation B.III . Confusing the matter further, both the D.II and D.I arrived at the Front in German service at similar times, in July–August 1916.

Force landed in Switzerland on 13 October 1916. An acrylic I did of a Fokker D-II fighter engaging a Nieuport 11 of the French air-force. This action took place during the famous Allied bombing raid on the German town of Oberndorf where the Mauser rifle factory was situated.

Naval Fokker D.II LF238 (w/n 803) was the only single-bay Fokker D.II (M.17E) to enter service in Germany; power was provided by an an 80 hp Oberursel U.0; the machine gun is a single LMG 08. It is pictured here in an immaculate finish soon after arrival at its unit.

The D.II was powered by a 100hp Oberursel U.I rotary engine and armed with a single fixed machine gun. In an unusual decision for 1916, the plane used wing-warping rather than ailerons. Their first service was in summer 1916.

From the fragile D.II biplane of 1915 to the robust D.XXI fighter of 1936 followed by the last “D” model, the revolutionary D.XXIII of 1939. A number of “D” types have also been built under license in various countries outside Germany and the Netherlands.

The Fokker D.II was a German fighter biplane of World War I. It was a single seat fighter aircraft developed before the Fokker D.I. It was based on the M.17 prototype, with single-bay unstaggered wings and a larger fuselage and shorter span than production D.IIs.

This biplane was built using many of the design elements of the Eindecker. The Fokker D-II was not as popular as the Albatros D-III, but it was an important step towards what would become a series of excellent aircraft, culminating in the Fokker D-VII. Engine: 1 x Oberursel U.II 110 hp. Wingspan: 9.04 m Length: 6.29 m
