The Lyrics
The Fokker V8 started out as a bet to build a quintuplane or Funfdecker to compete against the Fokker DR.I Triplane of Red Baron fame. Fokker himself piloted the first prototype for a hop in 1917 and then another run which proved that the unstaggered front mounted triple wings and twin after-cockpit wings were hard to handle. Pilot vision was poor and the Mercedes engines fitted of 132 hp and 160 hp were inadequate for the extended fuselage. It was ungainly and unforgiving, so it was abandoned and the two prototypes were scrapped. Fokker went on to build the excellent D.VII and D.VIII Flying Razor before the end of the war.
Fokker V8 not cool
was unkind
What a quintuplane could do
5 wing mountin’
Far from astoundin’
Fokker abandoned it
He flew it around
DR.I was better
Performance was a let-down
[Bad handling, low speed, and unsound]
Fokker V8 not cool
was unkind
For time
Had poor view
Extended too
Built just two
Was too hard to handle
Tandem wing flair
Was irritating
Both were dismantled
[Quite a scandal]
Was folly
Fokker V8 not cool
It was unkind
(DR.I, D.VII, and D.VIII proved deadly)
