Hello,

Neither does Peter Grosz' Mini-Datafile 11, the only monograph devoted to the Fokker D.V, mention that any D.Vs were supplied to the KuK forces. The D.V was "employed primarily in (German Army) flight schools, home defence flights or as trainers attached to combat units to introduce pilots with the operating characteristics of the rotary engine, scheduled to arrive with fighters such as the Fokker Dr.I...The D.V fighter-trainer was also flown by (German) naval defence flights ( combined with training service)..."
