| Koolhoven F.K.51 |
| The Netherlands, 1935 - The Koolhoven
F.K.51 turned out to be the winning type in the contest for a new
advanced trainer for the Dutch Army Air Force in 1935. Initially ten
were ordered, but the aircraft was succesful and eventually a total
of 145 airframes left the Waalhaven factory. Many of them were sold
to the Spanish Nationalists in spite of the military equipment embargo
at the time and flown to Paris as 'civil trainers'. The type was used
by the Dutch Army and Navy in The Netherlands and in the Dutch East
Indies. It was the most successful design of the Koolhoven factory.
The model depicts the second production version with the straight
fin. |
