Apart from a few somehow modern planes, the majority of the Dutch LVA consisted of old bi-planes. One example of them was the Fokker C.X reconnaissance plane, also used as a light bomber. It was quite difficult to stay alive in the German-dominated sky of may 10th 1940 and the following short story showed how this was usually accomplished. This particular C.X was attacked by a Bf110 near Sassenheim.
The funny thing is, the old LVA biplanes never suffered as much casualties as the more modern D.XXI, G.I and T.V squadrons.
