No! They were called Fokkers after the name of the disigner/manufacturers. An amusing anecdote follows:-
A retired RAF Squadron Leader was asked by a local schoolmistress to give a talk to the children about his exploits during the war. As he moved onto his part in the Battle of Britain, he described a particularly fraught engagement:
"…..the fo' ker s came out of the sun and before long there were fo'kers everywhere. I shot down one of the fo'kers but there were simply too many. Before long, 2 fo'kers got behind me and shot my tail and I had to parachute down to safety."
By this stage, most of the young children were smirking and trying to stifle their obvious amusement. So the headmistress interjected:
"Children, what the Squadron Leader is referring to, is the Fokker FU-66, which was a German utility fighter / bomber"
"Madam" replied our flier, "the fo'kers I was referring to, were in fact Messherschmitz"

No it was so lame Americans would have someThing to crack jokes about. Fokker was th name of the chief design engineer. If I remember right

There are only two minor flaws with your question. Fokker is a Dutch aircraft company. They only made military planes (and these were fighters) for the Germans during WW1.

This question is like calling someone on the phone and asking if
they have Prince Albert in a can or if your refrigerator is running.
As a matter of fact why don't you go do that and stop
pestering the grown ups.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day.
Thank you very much, while you're up!!!!!!

Yes, they also didn't clean them so they were dirty fokkers.
And then they didn't repair them so they became dirty rotten fokkers.
