Fokker aircraft company developt on its own expenses the G1. A plane we now call a heavy fighter/reconancance/tactical light bomber. After specification of the French air forces. Even after a sensetional mock up presentaon at the Paris air saloon in 1936, the French prefered own French designs.
Fokker developted it further and made a prototype fly in 1936 with radial engines. Acording to some internet sites Fokker prefered iliquid cooled line engines as the Rolls Royce Crestel or even the Merlin ( not confirmed) but it was not possible to purchase this engines.
What if the Belgian Airforces were intersted this design as a replacement and extension for their Fairly fighter and reconacance-bomber fleet. This time with Belguim build Hispano engines or even with RR Merlins. The Belgian air force was more serious numbered than the Dutch with their 2 to 3 squadron orders. How would the Dutch gouverment and militairs reacted on large orders of this type of aircraft. Would the Dutch East Indies gouverment made large ordres for this ´multy purpose´ plane.
