Fokker V.8 was a five-winged aircraft built by Fokker for the German air force during World War I.After the initial success of the Fokker Dr.I triplane Anthony Fokker proposed a quintuplane reasoning that if three wings were good five would be even better. Reinhold Platz chief engineer for Fokker was at first shocked by the idea: further thought only strengthened this reaction. Nevertheless the aircraft was built.
