Fokker F.32

The Fokker F.32 was a passenger aircraft built by the Fokker Aircraft Corporation of America in 1929 in their Teterboro New Jersey factory. It was the first four-engined aircraft designed and built in the United States. Ten examples were built but they only entered limited commercial service; their high cost and problems with the cooling of the after engines proved prohibitive. The United States Army Air Force evaluated the F.32 as the YC-20 but did not purchase it.
