Today we're looking at the Fokker T.IV. This forgotten aircraft saw service in the Dutch East Indies, a theatre of the second world war which is often overlooked in terms of aircraft. It was advanced for its time when it entered service in the 1920s, but it was sadly obsolete by the time it was pressed into action.

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine - and apparently its now a full-time job too! I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don't hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
