Fokker C-2 (Model 7)

In principle, the C designations indicate that these are Cargo/Freight aircraft.

Six C-2s were built, three of which served with the USAAS.

The C-2s at the USAAS were used for a variety of military activities, including as ambulance aircraft.

The C-2 was based on the Fokker F.VIIA-3m, and fitted with three Wright

Whirlwind R-790-1 engines of 220 hp each.

The C-2 had a larger wing than the Dutch F.VIIA-3m, and the cockpit shape was also modified.

The C-2 served as the model for a number of other American types/versions.
