In June of 1918, during the Second Fighter Competition, Fokker
Flugzeugwerke prepared some new planes. After the Competition,
prototypes of the V9 and V11 received good flight reports from
pilots. The German Idfiieg recommended building the V11 first
(Later well known as Fokker D.VII). But the Fokker company made
a decision to put the V9 into serial production because it had many
common parts with the famous Dr.I - fuselage, tailplane unit, and
undercarriage etc. The first aircraft, which received the name D.VI,
left the factory in June. Fokker's D.VI was an interim construction
between the Dr.I and the D.VII - from the D.VII would remain wing,
but shorter in span. The Idflieg ordered 120 planes of this type, many
Jastas received the D.VII at this time and its advantages were
evident. The Fokker Company had a stock of 59 fuselages from the
Dr.I, and started mass-production of new D.VII and the E.V.
During September of 1918, 27 of this type were seen at the Western
Front, seven aircraft were purchased by Austria-Hungary, others
were supplied to training units. Some sources indicated that one
D.VI was used at the Russian-German front during the autumn of
1918.
