The Fokker D.XIV was a fighter aircraft developed in the Netherlands in the mid 1920s but which was only produced as a single prototype. It was a low-wing, cantilever monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage, the basic concept of which was derived from the Fokker V.25 that had been developed during World War I.
