Fokker T.VIII
The Fokker T.VIII is a twin-engined torpedo bomber and aerial reconnaissance floatplane designed and manufactured by the Dutch aviation company Fokker. It was developed in the late 1930s as a successor to the Fokker T.IV. While the Dutch Naval Aviation Service had originally intended to use it in home waters and in the Dutch East Indies, the Second World War broke out as production was beginning to meet these needs. The Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Luftwaffe operated small numbers of the type.
