The Fokker E.V was a German parasol-monoplane fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz and built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. It entered service with the Luftstreitkraefte in the last months of the First World War. After several fatal accidents due to wing failures, the aircraft was modified and redesignated Fokker D.VIII.
Dubbed the Flying Razor by Allied pilots, it had the distinction of scoring the last aerial victory of the war.
