Tactical History
Although the Dutch armed forces never took the S.13 into service, Fokker operated the S.13 prototype in military livery. Therefore the S.13 has flown as D-101. During the severe floodings of February 1953, the D-101 was used for photoreconnaissance from naval air station Valkenburg.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
