A low flying Fokker E.II 35/15 of FFA14, somewhere on the Eastern Front

No correspondence. Photogr. Schilling & Co. Nachfl., Königsberg Pr., Paradeplatz 6.

 

Fokker E.II/35 from Feld-Flieger Abteilung 14 preparing to land at an airfield on the Eastern Front.

 

The E.II was built in parallel with the E.I and the choice of whether an airframe became an E.I or E.II depended on the availability of engines. In total, Fokker production figures state that 49 E.IIs were built and 45 of these had been delivered to the Western Front Fliegertruppe by December 1915. These figures mean that E.II 35/15 was one of the very few E.IIs that saw action on the Eastern Front.

 

For those with Windsock Datafile 91 (Fokker E.I/II) you can find three other images of this particular aircraft on page 21.
