Fokker D.VI

The Fokker D.VI was a German fighter aircraft built in limited numbers at the end of World War I.

These aircraft combined a set of scaled-down D.VII wings with a fuselage and empennage closely mirroring those of the earlier Dr.I.

[4] Idflieg issued a production contract after the V.13s were ultimately judged to be the best rotary powered entries of the competition.

[5] Moreover, the lack of castor oil and the poor quality of "Voltol," an ersatz lubricant, severely reduced engine life and reliability.

[1] The D.VI remained in frontline service until September 1918, and continued to serve in training and home defense units until the Armistice.
