Fokker C.IV
The Fokker C.IV was a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft.
The C.IV was developed from the earlier C.I but it was a larger and more robust aircraft.
The C.IV was designed as a reconnaissance biplane with a fixed tail wheel landing gear and was originally powered by the Napier Lion piston engine.
It had a wider fuselage and wider track of the cross-axle landing gear than the C.I.
