Fokker M.9

The Fokker M.9 (K-1)

The M.9 was built in April 1915, had a twin tail and two 80 hp Oberursel rotary engines.
The engines drove a pull and a push propeller.
The M.9 was also designated as the K.I, with the K for Kampf (fight/battle).
The pilot sat between the engines and there was room for two gunners in the tail booms.
After some test flights, further production was abandoned.
