After the end of the First World War Fokker chief designer Reinhold Platz designed the Fokker F II. The F III was a slightly different version. In the larger cabin five passengers could be carried, the cockpit was single-seated. The span was increased to 17.62 m, the wing cantilevered, further improvements were made to the rear fuselage and the rudder. The prototype flew in April 1921. The aircraft was delivered to several airlines with engines designed from 170 kW to 265 kW. At least ten "Deruluft" airplanes - the aircraft shown on the special postage stamp - received 265 kW Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines. The umbrella high-wing aircraft had a take-off weight of 2,200 kg a cruising speed of 130 km / h and a flight time of 5 hours. The total number of produced F III was probably 50 to 60 aircraft; With 20 aircraft, the German Aero Lloyd had the most aircraft of this type. Sixteen of them went into 1926 in the possession of the German Lufthansa.
