The Fokker C.VIII was a reconnaissance aircraft built in the Netherlands in the late 1920s. Intended primarily for the photographic reconnaissance role, it was a larger machine than other Fokker reconnaissance types of the period, with space for a third crew member, who acted as camera operator. It was also Fokker's first aircraft of this type to be built as a monoplane, a parasol wing configuration. The construction, however, was in the familiar Fokker style with wooden wings covered with plywood and fabric, and a steel-tube fuselage, also fabric-covered.

| - Die Fokker C.VIII war ein niederländisches militärisches Mehrzweckflugzeug. Während die Ausführung mit Radfahrwerk ein Prototyp blieb, wurden von der Schwimmervariante eine begrenzte Anzahl produziert und in den 1930er Jahren von der Marine des Landes als Küstenaufklärer eingesetzt. (de)

- De Fokker C.VIII was een militair vliegtuigtype van de Nederlandse vliegtuigfabrikant Fokker. Het toestel ontstond uit de wens van de Luchtvaartafdeeling (LVA) een nieuw vliegtuig voor strategische verkenning in gebruik te nemen. Door Fokker werd dit toestel gedurende 1927 ontwikkeld, hierbij sterk rekening houdend met de wensen van de LVA. Het toestel werd een hoogdekker en had drie zitplaatsen, voor de piloot en twee waarnemers. Voor de verdediging waren twee flexibele machinegeweren en een derde in de neus. Bovendien moest het toestel ingezet kunnen worden als lichte bommenwerper of toegerust met torpedo's kunnen worden. (nl)

- The Fokker C.VIII was a reconnaissance aircraft built in the Netherlands in the late 1920s. Intended primarily for the photographic reconnaissance role, it was a larger machine than other Fokker reconnaissance types of the period, with space for a third crew member, who acted as camera operator. It was also Fokker's first aircraft of this type to be built as a monoplane, a parasol wing configuration. The construction, however, was in the familiar Fokker style with wooden wings covered with plywood and fabric, and a steel-tube fuselage, also fabric-covered. A single prototype was built and after exhibition at the 1928 Paris Air Show was accepted into Royal Netherlands Army Aviation Group service, but no further orders for the type were placed. The following year, the Royal Netherlands Navy issued a requirement for a new reconnaissance seaplane, and Fokker submitted a revised version of the C.VIII. Slightly larger than its landplane counterpart, the C.VIII-W had a different engine, a new radiator arrangement, and twin pontoons as undercarriage, units similar to those used previously on the C.VII. The pontoon strutting incorporated a gap, allowing for the carriage of a torpedo under the fuselage for training purposes. Nine aircraft were delivered to the Navy between June 1930 and July 1934, and all were still in service at the time of the German invasion in 1940. Four were lost to enemy action between 10 and 14 May, with the remaining five successfully evacuated to the UK on 30 May, whereupon they were scrapped. (en)

Bovendien moest het toestel ingezet kunnen worden als lichte bommenwerper of toegerust met torpedo's kunnen worden. Het toestel voldeed echter niet aan de wensen van de piloten, ondanks het goed uitgewerkte eisenpakket. De LVA kocht uiteindelijk slechts één toestel. Uitgerust als watervliegtuig (zie Fokker C.VIIIw) had het type meer succes; tussen 1930 en 1934 werden negen toestellen geleverd aan de Marine Luchtvaartdienst. Vijf toestellen wisten in mei 1940 naar Engeland uit te wijken, waar ze na korte tijd werden gesloopt. (nl)
