This is the first study to examine the stencil lettering used by the Fokker aircraft factories up to 1918. Size, form, arrangement and development of the respective markings of the airplanes are dealt with here.
This essay also covers eight individual plates of the respective font at a scale of 1/1, which are available from the author on request as a .TIFF file for printing in original size.
Model builders in particular attach great importance to the authentic design of the paintwork on their models, some of which are excellent anyway.
Incorrect markings are always a particular annoyance here. This small volume is intended to help counteract this problem, at least for Fokker aircraft.

One of the most innovative aircraft by Fokker. Passed over by history itself, this aircraft formed the basis for all further Fokker aircraft,
and provided ideas and design paths that extended into the construction of commercial aircraft of the 1930s. Glider construction of the early 1960s also used methods that originated here.
The V.1 is the ancestor of such famous fighters as the Fokker triplane, the Fokker D.VII or the Fokker E.V/D.VIII. The latter is the perfection of this highly interesting aircraft design.
Our volume, prepared by Gerry Mos, shows the technology, gives background on the testing and the materials used. No tiny leap of a quantum, but so far ahead of it´s time,
that the own potential was never fully exploited because of the - even today - futuristic appearance.
