It was modern for its time but by the German invasion of 1940 it was outclassed by the Luftwaffe. Nevertheless the T.V was used successfully against the German onslaught. The T.V and Fokker G.1 were the only bomber aircraft of the Dutch air force that were equipped with retractable landing gear. Combatants Kingdom of the Netherlands Germany Commanders Henry G. Winkelman, Jan Joseph Godfried baron van Voorst tot Voorst Fedor von Bock (Army Group B) Strength 9 divisions, 676 guns, 1 tank (inoperational), 124 aircraft Total: 350,000 men 22 divisions, 1,378 guns, 759 tanks, 1150 aircraft Total: 750,000...

As the T.V lacked self-sealing fuel tanks they gained a reputation for rapidly catching fire when hit by enemy weapons. Self-sealing fuel tanks are an aviation technology developed during World War II, when it quickly became apparent that fighter aircraft lacked adequate protection. ...
