Certainly there were no Fokkers that played a major part in WW2, the only possibilities I can think of are that the Dutch Airforce may have had some Fokker D.XXI fighters in service when they were invaded, and I believe some of these were also exported to the Finnish Airforce and saw service there.
I cannot be certain of the mark as my reference books are at home.
Fokker (the Dutch aircraft designer and manufacturer) is not to be confused with Focke-Wulf, the German manufacturer which had the following main aircraft types in service during WW2:-
FW189 - Twin engined reconnaisence aircraft
FW190 - Single Engine Fighter (better than the Me109 and equal to the Spitfire).
FW200 - Long Range Maritime Patrol and anti-shipping aircraft based upon a very advanced pre-war airliner.
Fokker aircraft were used by the germans in WW1.

Fokker was a make of German Planes, they were used very heavily in the first and second world wars, I believe the Manfred Von Richtofen (the Red Baron) flew a Fokker DR1 tri-plane, but there were many models that were widely used at the time.

A Fokker is a make of plane flown in the 2nd world war (possibly the 1st as well). I understand that it was made famous as the Red Baron flew a tri-winged Fokker.

Interesting trick question. I immediately thought of the Fokker D series triplane fighters. Then I noticed that you referred to WW2, not WW1. The D1 has passed into history by then.
The only Fokker military aircraft that that saw service in WW2 is the twin -fuselage Jachtkruiser.

They were manufacturers of aircraft in WW2 I think they made Fokwolf along with mainly small planes hence the saying 'There's the little Fokker'

So why don't you do that then instead of losing 5 point's by asking a question that you probably already know the answer to?

A gunner in the war was recommended for a medal. When his officer asked him why he would be getting a medal he said."I shot down two Fockers."The officer replied."Well you are only getting one focking medal".
It was a German Aircraft.
