Fokker F.VIII
The Fokker F.VIII (or F.8) was a large twin-engined airliner designed and produced by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker in the 1920s. It was similar overall to the Fokker F.VII which was generally a trimotor, but with a larger body with no nose engine. The F.VIII seated twelve in what was for the period a luxury seating setup. In the same family of aircraft was the even larger F.IX, or F-9, which used a trimotor configuration.
