Like a few members, I’m interested in planes and cars. Spyker, the Dutch sports car maker, make a lot of their aviation heritage but I know little of the WW1 aircraft. How many were made, were they (as I understand) grossly inferior to Fokkers? Has anybody any pictures of them?

Spijker publication
The NVHK (the Dutch counterpart of Britain) published some info on Spijker
http://luchtvaartkennis.net/projecten.html
If you can read Dutch is obvious, otherwise:
Licence Farmans and Nieuports
V-1: only prototype
V-2: 78 built for Dutch AF and Navy
V-3: only prototype
Thanks to Anthony Fokker’s arrival in Holland Spijker went broke!
Hope this helps, otherwise PM me….

Janes 1919 lists three Spyker types. The V2 dual control school biplane. The V3 single seat fighter and the V4 a two seat scout. There are two photo’s of the Spyker school machine and one photo of the single seat fighter. Also basic three veiw drawings of the V2 and V4.
