2020年11月29日 · Perched high upon welded steel wing stands positioned between Russian and Polish airplanes, the Fokker G.I gained the most attention because of its heavy armament.

The heavy fighter-attack aircraft Fokker G.I in November of the 36th was exhibited at the Paris-Le Bourget air show, where he received the nickname (le Faucheur) - "Mower" for its powerful armament.

The concept of a twin-boom twin-engined fighter, later adopted for the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, was revolutionary at the time, and the new aircraft was the centre of much critical appraisal. After the Show, the G.I was taken to Eindhoven/Welschap airfield, from where its first flight was made on 16 March 1937.

Designed in 1936, the G.I fighters were intended to carry heavy weapons for air-superiority missions. 27 of them were ready in time to serve during the German invasion in May 1940 in two squadrons.
