Thanks Tophe. Here's the last of the Fokker projects ... promise
The Fokker
Ontwerp 126 was a 1935 study for a light reconnaissance bomber
à la the contemporary Fairey
Battle. I assume that the
Ontwerp 126 was intended as a replacement for the Fokker C.X biplane.
Like the
Battle, the
Ontwerp 126 had a liquid-cooled engine (exhaust ports suggesting an HS-12Y rather than the C.X's
Kestrel). The
Ontwerp 126 also differed from the
Battle in having a spatted main gear and a fuselage bomb bay (rather like the Kawasaki Ki-32 '
Mary' or Mitsubishi Ki-30 '
Ann').
Unlike any of the designs mentions, the
Ontwerp 126 was to have two belly gun positions (one firing to the rear, another firing straight down). Planned offensive load seems to have been four 100 kg bombs.
Defensive armament would be the LVA's standard FN Colt-Browning 7,9mm No.3 machine guns but the exact number is unclear. One (or two) MGs were synchronized to fire through the propeller arc. Another MG on a flexible mount fired from the observer's dorsal position. Either that dorsal MG or the ventral MG could also be re-positioned to the vertical ventral position.
For the fin markings, I've re-dubbed the
Ontwerp 126 as the Fokker 'C.XII', AFAIK, that was a designation never applied by the LVA.
