Fokker/CVM C.VD/C.VE

In 1927, the first two each of Fokker C.VD, intended as a fighter with the designation J 3, and Fokker C.VE, intended as reconnaissance aircraft designated S 6, were bought from Fokker. They proved suitable and an agreement for licence production was made and a further four C.VE and six C.VD were purchased, the latter designated J 3A. Seven C.VDs ordered from CVM were built as C.VEs, as by 1929 it was clear the type was unsuitable as a fighter, but still they were designated J 3B. In 1931 the J 3Bs were redesignated S 6, the J 3 and J 3As S 6A. Ten C.VE with Nohab My VI engines instead of Jupiter VI engines were given the designation S 6B.
