![Gloster's Forgotten Rival To The Hurricane | Gloster F.5/34 [Aircraft Overview #57]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zJ6KO5sAXyw/mqdefault.jpg)
The history of French, Dutch and Polish aircraft in the late 1930s-1940s can essentially be summed up with the phrase “Unfortunately, the Germans had other plans”
that sparked a memory. I had a colleague who left our aircraft systems development firm and went to Fokker just a few months before it went under.
We can all thank
MARTHA FOKKER for her contribution.
One clever Fokker
Too late, and a couple of engines short.
Now that you succeeded in saying ML-KNIL five times in a row, next challenge : Say five times its full name (in dutch otherwise it's not fun!) "Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger", "Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger"... 😁
That title, quality! 🤣👌👨🍳😘
Mother!
A beefier Handley Page Hampden.
..and with a name that all teenage boys could giggle over .. :D
Look at that Big Fokker go!
And a lot of pilots… [French accent]”We may fly only a small Fokker, it’s what you do with it that counts.”[/French accent]
Teehee!
So true..
“It’s just a game FOKKER!!”
Quite an amazing period , as several prototypes and new aircraft where being designed tested or prototypes . Compared to the HE 111 it had greater range 2300 km vs 2720 km. Greater altitudes 6500 m vs 8000 m was more heavily armed , 1x 20mm canon in the nose , 2x twin 12.7 mm machine guns ventral and dorsal positions .
The TVIII was also under construction a maritime flying boat for the dutch east indies.
The amount of aircraft beeing designed and in prototypes /testing at that time by fokker was litteraly insane .
Your Fokker series is more Than interesting. Excellent narration and exciting pictures You are presenting.
Bravo Ed Nash , excellent video , I wouldn’t mind making a model of it
That's actually a pretty good looking aircraft. Fokker really knew their stuff.
Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger (ML-KNIL)
KNIL is pronounced as a word not as an abbreviation.
So it is ML Knil.
Hi Ed. After your amazing Dutch series we need a French one!
- Bloch 152 "Inferior to the Bf109 but sturdy"
- Dewoitine 520 "The sexy little bully that came up too little, too late"
- Bréguet 693 "Heroic sacrifice of a nimble strike aircraft"
- Morane-Saulnier 406 "Good in the 30s but obsolete by 1940"
- Dewoitine 551 "A promising French Mustang in the making"
- Potez 630 "France's proposal for the (mostly doomed) heavy fighter concept"
- Bloch 174 "Arguably the best recco aircraft in 1940?"
- Lioré-Olivier 451 "The sleek French schnell bomber with a deadly 20mm dart"
- Potez 63-11 "Valiantly gathering vital intelligence the high command would just ignore"
- Loire-Nieuport 401 "French naval Stukas thrown in the inferno"
- Arsenal VG33 "The forgotten French wooden wonder"
- Amiot 143 "A flying coffin from the 30s hopelessly sent over the Meuse"
- Latécoère 298 "A well designed and versatile seaplane"
- Dewoitine 790 "The stillborn naval development of the D520"
- Farman F223 "Workehorse for a Doolittle like raid on Berlin"
- Bloch 157 "Inspired the FW190: myth or reality?"
- Hispano-Suiza 12 engines "Fathers of the Klimov familly"
- French radials "A6M Zero fighter engine: the French connection"
And plenty of other forgotten aircraft and engines!
Got any for the Amiot 350 series? Nice looking aircraft.
You've done it again, Ed.
I have never heard of this plane before now.
Thank you.
☮
I'd only heard of it when playing Hearts of Iron IV, good to know it was a real plane.
It was really a beautiful airframe.
Just about all of my parent's generation of male relatives were in KNIL, at the start of WW2. My father and one or two uncles would have joined, too, except by the time they were old enough, they were already in a Japanese prison camp. Everybody just pronounced it as one word, with a "short i"(as in sit), instead of spelling out the letters. The "k" was NOT silent.
A distant cousin, in the KNIL, did fly one of those B10s on a raid on Japanese held Singapore, before being forced to escape to Australia. One of the (less than a) handful to NOT be captured by the Japanese.
I haven't even gotten through the adverts yet and the title made me die. XD
Hi Mr Nash! Do you plan to make a video about the first Fokker? The Mother Fokker... Ok, ok, i know where is the exit.
And after that, maybe a video about that WW2 Dutch warplane that crashed because it landed with its wheels up? You know, the Dumb Fokker?
😄@@SolarWebsite
Overtones of the Handley Page Hampden in that design, which was slightly earlier in design, both using Bristol engines.
What’s so difficult about saying Militaire Luchtvart Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger?
Apart from the “g” in leger of course.
Very impressive video! Since you're into Fokker planes at the moment you could also make a video about the Fokker D23 :-)
Way ahead of you:

Actually thought as a kid that Fokker was behind the Focke-Wulf aircraft.
3:38 Completely off topic. But I find it hilarious that we still use these exact same bicycles, so you could definitely find an almost identical picture to this one with one of our F-16s
Boeing to Fokker: "We upped our game, so UP YOURS!"
I got into trouble in school 40 years ago because of Antony Fokker.
You got to feel sorry what happen to that Fokker
A plane I have never heard of before. Thank You for the video.
No wonder that I didn't recognise the aircraft in your post yesterday!
Such a shame Fokker folded about 25 years ago.
“But this Fokker was a Messerschmitt. iykyk
After seeing several reactions here's a fun fact; the English 'F-word' is most likely derived from the Dutch word 'fokken', which means to breed.
So here's another one for you. Some knowledge of 'Dunglish' may be needed.
Englishman: "So, what kind of business are you in exactly?"
Dutchman: (In heavy Dutch accent) "Oh, I fok horses."
Englishman: "Pardon?!"
Dutchman: "Yes, paarden!"
Great content as always! Good to see this plane that never had a chance to shine appear in a dedicated video.
its derived from the german but then so is all of Dutch :P
Looks like a Handley Page Hampden.
That's one obscure motor fokker.
Looking at the B-10 and its Glass Canopy...wow thats a lot of glass thats got to be 25-30 feet of glass
This bomber reminds me very much of Polish PZL 37 Łoś. You didn't cover this one, did you?
Not yet. One day 😁
It looks very similar to the Hampden except for the wings.
What a fab Fokker! Sad it was wrong time wrong place. Oh, how we all know that feeling😂
Albatross!
Hearing you spell out K-N-I-L every time is a good reminder why the name is almost never spelled out in Dutch, but simply pronounced as a single word "knil".
Hi, not nit-picking but your picture of the Fokker E.I is actually a Pfalz copy of a Morane-Saulnier. Thanks for the video.
well i couldn't tell so good pick up
At 1:15: what's this big tri-engine machine? Please and thanks
Fokker F.XX en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_F.XX
The F XX.
Sadly the time from first flying prototype to full production took to long at Fokker, also the large numbers of airplanes stationed at Indonesia could have been of better use when the Germans invaded the Netherlands.
But perhaps it was better the way it went, more aeroplanes could have slowed the invasion down, but not stop it, and then death toll and damage would probably have been higher.
Oh well Ed . As Freddie would say (and sing ) ......another one bites the dust !
Hope you are recovering well after getting the dreaded C-19… take care 🏴
Its amazing to me how many aircraft just seem to have showed up too late to be useful in the second world war, some of them even being lovely aircraft.( and alot of them being french.)
Fokker also gave Stan Boardman half of his jokes!
A great very interesting video and aircraft.Have a good one Mr.Ed.
I would like to see a video on the Hudson. To me it was a very interesting airplane.
This gets a 'like' just for the title. Nice one.
great timing Mate )))) write another book )))
You had me at the title... LOL Well done.
Nice one. Clean looking design.
Fine look'n bird.
It always blows my mind that the Dutch thought defending a rugged, tropical, archipelago with a hundred medium bombers was a sound strategy!
Well....the british had a similar concept of air policing.
Excellent.
This is the best thing I ever saw.
:)
TY 🙏🙏
Gotta wonder what would have come of Fokker if the invasion of the Netherlands never got underway.
