Fokker D-21 sõdis edukalt, mitte ainult Soomes, vaid ka Hollandis. Vaata Luftwaffe kaotusi Hollandi kohal mais 1940!
Arusaamatuks jääb, kuidas saksa kaotustest Hollandi kohal (s.t. siis ainult õhus?) saab tuletada, et Fokker D-21 sõdis edukalt. Kristallkuuli kasutades? Saksa lennukite kaotuste põhjuseid oli ikka palju rohkem kui hollandi Fokker D-21.
Eelpool viidatud Fokkerite edu sakslaste invasiooni ajal - jah, Fokkerid tulistasid alla päris posu Ju 52 transpordilennukeid ja mõned Ju 87 Stukad. Kohtumine saksa hävituslennukitega lõppes neile halvasti. Kuna aga sakslased olid ülbeks läinud ja Fokkeritel oli võimalik katteta transpordi- ja pommituslennukeid rünnata, siis edu neil oli.

http://www.waroverholland.nl/index.php? ... airforce-4 lehelt sellised numbrid:
The combined fighter force of the Dutch airforce had achieved 32 confirmed air victories and about a dozen probables. The T-V bombers contributed another 6 confirmed air victories to that amount, totalling 38 confirmed shot down Luftwaffe planes.
These 38 planes were of the following types: 6 off Bf-110's, 10 off Bf-109's, 9 of He-111, 2 off Ju-88, 1 off Ju-87, 1 off Do-17 and 6 off Ju-52. The remaining confirmed kills were of unidentified types.
Per Dutch type the following confirmed kills: Fokker D-XXI, 16 victories [5 off Bf-110, 5 off Bf-109, 2 off Ju-88, 1 off He-111, 1 off Do-17 and 2 off Ju-52], Fokker G-1, 14 victories [5 off Bf-109's, 6 off He-111, 2 off Ju-52 and 1 off Ju-87], Fokker T-V bomber, 6 victories [1 off Bf-110, 2 off He-111, 3 off unknown type] and the Douglas 8A3N instant fighter planes, 2 off Ju-52's.
Given its modest size and rather poor flying material, the Dutch airforce had clearly outperformed itself. The fighters had proven themselves in the dogfights against the Germans and had even achieved a positive score [more enemy planes downed than own losses]. Tragically, the losses the Dutch suffered were irreplaceable. The Germans could however easily fill the empty spaces in their lines.
The D-XXI had - much to the suprise of many - proven itself a valuable asset. The odd looking fighter with its fixed gear and lumpy nose had been able to pick up the glove and kick ass. The D-XXI had shown itself an excellent fighter in dog-fighting the Bf-110 and even the occasional Bf-109 that had itself committed in a close combat situation, for which the fast but poorly manoeuvrable Bf-109 was unfit. The G-1 had also claimed quite some successes, especially fighting the German bombers and twin-engine fighters. The eight MG battery in its nose had been a nasty punishment for quite some bigger birds opposing it.
There had been some bad experiences too. Although the Dutch planes had performed well in their confrontations with the modern opponents, the quality of the bodyworks, engines and machineguns [FN] was determined as quite poor. The planes required far too much maintenance and the guns proved to be almost completely worn off after a few days of war. Far too often mechanical gun failure had occured, mainly with the G-1 but also with the D-XXI.
A much surprising conclusion was that the planes that had been considered quite obsolete and much outdated, like the Fokker C-V and C-X bi-planes, had performed far beyond expectation. Before the war commanders had had their doubt over the value of these older planes. Miraculously few of these planes had been shot down and especially their ground support capacity had been applied many times and with [generally spoken] a high success ratio. In fact, the bulk of the ground support missions flown had been born by these two older types.
