The Fokker F.VIIIa was designed by the Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker during 1925. It was the world’s first passenger plane with 3 engines. The F.VII could carry 8-12 passengers, and was the choice of many European and American airlines, including DDL, the Danish Airlines, which is the aircraft I will be modelling here.
