About: Fokker V.2   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/AGhloO_nVTaFp7GvOmHv5Q==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

For many decades, the V.3 was thought to be a modification to the V.2 instead of a separate aircraft. The designation was known, and assigned in error to the first triplane, which also had cantilever wings. That aircraft was, however, the V.4, not the V.3. A period photo in the book German Combat Planes, authored by Ray Wagner and Heinz Nowarra and published in the United States in 1971, shows a "Fokker V.2" aircraft with a redesigned empennage strongly reminiscent of the Albatros D.III in appearance, as a possible step in its experimental program.

  • For many decades, the V.3 was thought to be a modification to the V.2 instead of a separate aircraft. The designation was known, and assigned in error to the first triplane, which also had cantilever wings. That aircraft was, however, the V.4, not the V.3.

Historian Peter M. Bowers has speculated that the V.1-V.3 were in fact proof of concept aircraft as they were too underpowered for actual use as fighters.
