These are period
drawings of a supposedly Fokker observation type, the M.8, military designation
A.1, whose
wings were mounted on the "shoulder" of the fuselage. Maybe
the drawings aren't as perfect as more modern renditions but
shows interesting details of one of the least known family members
of Fokker Eindecker series. Evolving from this design, and with
the addition of the machine gun interrupter gears, Fokker
produced the famous Fokker Eindecker fighters that so many
headaches gave to the british and french air services during
mid-WW1. The hints to identify these drawings as an observation
machine were given by Mr. Robert Karr.Thanks, Robert!
