The Chunky Dutchman That Time Forgot | Fokker T.IV [Aircraft Overview #74]

Today we're looking at the Fokker T.IV. This forgotten aircraft saw service in the Dutch East Indies, a theatre of the second world war which is often overlooked in terms of aircraft. It was advanced for its time when it entered service in the 1920s, but it was sadly obsolete by the time it was pressed into action.
