The first T-V prototype flew in 1935. This type of aircraft was intended to protect a dedicated area.
It had to be heavily armed and fast and above that it had to carry enough fuel to stay in the air for
a long time.
The Dutch Airforce ordered sixteen T.5's but when they were delivered the whole concept was outdated.
Another task of the T.5 would have been that of a bomber and that remained as the majortask. However,
just a few of them had bombracks, so this task also was not fully carried out .
The aircraft remained in service until 1940.
