some can translate it thanks | Translation:
They got the registration 300 to 335 and replaced the Fokker D.XXI's at the 3rd JaVA (=squadron) at Soesterberg airfield starting at 9 september 1939. They were also trelegated to the 4th JaVA at Bergen airport, which was just been formed. The 3th JaVA moved to the airport of Waalhaven (ed. Rotterdam) on november the 10th 1939.

Country: | so the G I go in service the 9th september in 3rd JaVA or the 1st on 4th JaVa?
(i think the september 1st for the 4th is only on paper born of unit not aircraft in it) | |

Country: | Hi. I'm a new one here.
About the Fokker G-1A and -1B. Originally coming from the Netherlands, I can
tell you there NEVER were such designations!
Most considering W. Green the best informed writer, I'll tell you he was completely off on this! The Fokker distinction was Fokker G-1 (Mercury) and
Fokker G-1 (Wasp) referring to the engines fitted. So throw away the "G-1A" and "G-1B" nomenclature! | |

The ones meant for export were confiscated by dutch authorities in 1940. The only one going abroad was the 362 which fled to the UK in 1941 and some that were used by the LW.
