Hi all,

the M.8 was called Fokker A.I by the Army. FFA 41 got 6 of these Fokker A´s when the unit was founded in Germany. FFA 41 left the train in Gent on 30. October, was the next day in Staden and acted as reconnaissance section for III. Reservekorps since 1. November. The Fokker A.I was not rated positive as an reconnaissance aircraft but I think I remember Boelcke wrote in a letter he was lucky to get the Fokker monoplane in December 1914.
