M.A.G. did build a couple of Fokker Triplanes, but I think they had
another designation. I will have to check this answer in my "bible" (Grosz
et al.) tonight to let you know. I don't believe that these were
"standard" production Dr-Is, but were a development from them intended for
the A-H air service.
