The Luftwaffe of the German Reich ordered  its  war  planes  from
several  firms.   Notably  Dornier (Do), Focke-Wulf (FW), Heinkel
(He), Junker (Ju), and Messerschmitt (Me)  were  well-known  sup-
pliers.  They  were  also  German. The Dutch firm Fokker however,
wasn't a supplier. Maybe the names Focke and Fokker got mixed up?
