Another quick one, well done John. It is indeed the Koolhoven FK 52. Powered by a Bristol VIII 840hp engine only six were manufactured. The prototype first flew in February 1937, but later crashed. The design was obsolete by 1938. However, in 1939 the Dutch Air Force ordered 36 units, but only five had been completed before the German invasion of Holland. Two aircraft were used by the Finnish Air Force, both were lost. The FK 52 bore the nickname kolho, clumsy.



You have control.
