Among the effective aircraft produced by Fokker in the years immediately prior to the war.  The D.XXI fighter deserves a place of honor.  It was a transitional plane, still retaining fixed landing gear, although particularly efficient and advanced for its time nevertheless.  Above all, it had great potential, and only the course of the war prevented this from being developed
