Fokker D.IV

The Fokker D.IV was powered by the excellent 160hp Mercedes D.III inline engine and armed with a twin fixed machine guns. As the aeroplane was put through testing, several defects in workmanship and design were found, resulting in delays, modifications, and repeated tests. In fact, the defects in the D.IV caused a re-evaluation of all Fokker biplane products, resulting in the December removal from the front lines. The D.IV was never cleared for broad front-line use and it was relegated to home defense and training. Forty were built.
