FOKKER C.XI-W 1935
In 1935 a two-seat seaplane was developed as a reconnaissance and light bomber, which could be catapulted if necessary. This to replace the outdated C.VII-W floatplanes of the MLD.
The fourteen Naval Aviation machines were equipped with the 775 hp Wright "Cyclone" engine.
During the type testing, Fokker carried out catapult tests in northern Germany, where a catapult installation was available.
Originally, the C.XI-W had an open cockpit, which in the MLD series was closed by a plexiglass sliding roof, as was used on the CX.
The majority of these aircraft were shipped to the former Dutch East Indies, where they served during the Japanese attack.
Several C.XI-W had been painted in a typical zig-zag camouflage scheme when serving aboard our cruisers.
