WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- 1920s Dutch high-wing monoplane fighter with thick cantilever wing
- Single radial or inline engine in an unbraced parasol monoplane
- Fixed undercarriage with spatted wheels beneath the thick Fokker wing
The high parasol wing with no external struts or bracing wires is the key identifying feature, shared with other Fokker fighters of the 1920s; the compact fuselage and fixed undercarriage are typical of the period.
