Fokker M.1

The Fokker M.I

This model is said to have flown for the first time in Johannisthal in June 1912.
The aircraft was designed for the German army and Goedecker was ordered to produce 20 of them.
This marked the beginning of Fokker Aeroplanbau in Schwerin.
The M.I could carry a pilot and observer and had an Argus or a 100 hp Mercedes engine.
