| Tom Womack, e-mail, 15.07.2021 02:32 The Fokker T.VIII was built as a replacement for the Fokker T.IV / T.IVa floatplane in the Netherlands East Indies. However, sufficient numbers were not built in time for it to enter service in the East Indies.
The Dornier Do. 24 was initially designed / built at the request of the Dutch Navy, which sought a replacement for its Do. 15 "Wal" then in service the East Indies. It was also offered to the German Navy, which showed no interest in the Do. 24 until after the invasion of Holland.

| Rein Boomsma, e-mail, 29.04.2013 23:06 My father stole R25 (KD+GQ) from Amsterdam harbour with 3 other comrades and flew to Broadstairs in England on the 6th May 1941. The aircraft was kept in Felixstowe until at least 1944. I have dad's original picture of the aircraft when he landed, but sofar no other pictures have come to light. There has to be more but does anyone know?

| J.T. Wenting, e-mail, 21.02.2012 15:28 Factoid: Both the Germans and British kept the aircraft away from the North Sea theater to avoid blue on blue engagements. The T.VIII was the only aircraft used operationally (rather than for test and evaluation purposes) by both sides during WW II.

| Erin, e-mail, 30.11.2009 07:53 Wow. This is amazing. I am doing research about my grandfather who worked as engineer at Fokker before the war and came upon your site. He was in charge of building the T.8-W planes for Finland.

| Mordechai Dessaur, e-mail, 08.04.2008 13:26 Sorry, I could not find any picture of this aircraft with RAF roudels, although they do exist.
There was an all metal version built with 2x 850 hp engines
