United States of America, 1921
- The Fokker T.2 was originally developed for the U.S. market as
the F.IV, a stretched version of the F.III. Two F.IV's were built
in Holland and sold to the U.S. Army Air Service. One airframe was
converted into an ambulance aircraft, known as the A-2. The remaining
transport was designated T-2 and became famous by its non-stop coast-to-coast
flight with McReady and Kelly in 1923, after having established
an official endurance record over Dayton, Ohio in October 1922.
The aircraft still exists; it rests in the National Air & Space
Museum in Washington, DC.
