Koolhoven F.K.58 - Dutch Aircraft in the ArmΓ©e de l'Air

https://preview.redd.it/fah67dd3j2e71.jpg?width=1445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e3ead07d71b1376af906daa82c19d94b1167b9a

The Koolhoven F.K.58 was an aircraft contracted by France and produced by the Dutch N.V. Koolhoven company. I would put this aircraft at 1.7 - 2.3. It would be another low tier fighter for France, but be unique in that it is not of French origin, but was used by the ArmΓ©e de l'Air during the Battle of France, although in very limited service.

History

In the late 1930s, as Germany began to become more and more of an obvious threat, the governments of Britain and France began to rearm. There was much debate in France between pacifism and rearmament, and during this time the government settled for appeasement, but also began to rearm. There was a war brewing, and the French wanted to have the very best fighter designs they could, as aircraft had proved themselves in World War 1, and would be even more important in the event of another war.

French Prime Minister Γ‰douard Daladier saying goodbye to German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop after the 1938 Munich Conference, whereby Germany would be allowed to occupy the Czech Sudetenland.

However, in 1937, the Conseil SupΓ©rieur de l'Air, the brass of the French Air Force, came to a decision that in the event of a war, the Air Force couldn't be provided with aircraft produced in France quick enough. It was then that the Dutch Aircraft company Koolhoven was contracted to create an easy to build, inexpensive, but high performance fighter. The French particularly wanted it to be able to be fitted with French engines and other components, which would ease logistics.

Designer Erich Schatzki began work on the aircraft, and took heavy inspiration from previous designs he had built, such as the Fokker D.XXI, and Fokker G.I heavy fighter. One of the most amazing things about its development was that it took two-and-a-half months to complete the aircraft, from initial drawings, to flying. Another part of its design that was not as widely seen at the time was its retractable landing gear, which would reduce drag on the aircraft, increasing performance. However, the aircraft used a standard armament for the time, four machine guns under the wings.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
