It must be Koolhoven FK-33, by the way, then.
Shortly after the formation of KLM, Albert Plesman decided he would like to be able to offer night flights. He asked Koolhoven in 1919 (informally) to design a plane for this purpose. It should be as safe as possible. Koolhoven answered with the FK-33, Netherlands very first triple engined passenger plane. It could carry 10 passengers. Development of this plane was fully at the Nationale Vliegtuig-Industrie's own expense. Only one was built. It served with KLM from 1925 till 1927. Then it was sold to the German firm Aero GmbH, where it was used well into the thirties as advertising plane.
