Fokker T.V
The Fokker T.V, in service written as T5, was a twin-engine medium bomber and heavy bomber hunter, described as an "aerial cruiser", built by Fokker for the Netherlands Air Force. It could carry over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of bombs, and was armed with a movable 20 mm Solothurn S18-350 aircraft cannon in the nose. Modern for its time, by the German invasion of 1940 it was outclassed by the airplanes of the Luftwaffe, although it was used with some success.
