MAG did not build the planes. There were only two planes. They were built by
Fokker in their prototype shop and shipped on to have engines fitted later.
The only remarkable thing about them was a slight lengthening of the fuselage.
During the tests they were fitted with reworked 150 LeRhone engines.
The encountered several failures before and during testing. Nothing further
was accomplished.
I have several photos of both prototypes from the original Fokker photo
archive album if you need copies for serious documentation.
