Fokker F.IV

The Fokker F. IV was an airliner designed in the Netherlands in the early 1920s but built to the extent of only two examples both for the United States Army Air Service. It was a typical Fokker style (though the largest they had yet built) high-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage. The pilot sat in an open cockpit alongside the engine in the manner of the Fokker F. III while a cabin inside the fuselage could seat twelve passengers.

A Fokker F-IV was converted to 2-litter ambulance. In 1928, U.S. Marines were evacuated from isolated posts in Nicaragua to general hospitals.1
