Fokker F.IV

Fokker F.IV

The Fokker F.IV is an airliner designed in the Netherlands in the early 1920s, with only two ever made, both for the United States Army Air Service (designated T-2). The aircraft made the first non-stop coast to coast flight of the continental United States in May 1923. The aircraft was powered by a twelve cylinder Liberty engine which was a popular engine for U.S. aircraft at this time. One of the aircraft was preserved and is on display at the National Air and Space Museum (the Smithsonian) in Washington, DC. in the United States.
