The Fokker E.II was the second variant of the German Fokker Eindecker single-seat monoplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. The E.II was essentially a Fokker E.I with the 100-hp Oberursel U.I 9-cylinder rotary engine in place of the E.I's 80-hp Oberursel U.0, but whereas the E.I was simply a M.5K with a machine gun bolted to it, the E.II was designed with the weapon system integrated with its airframe.
