what is it?

The Fokker M.7 was an unarmed German biplane observation aircraft developed during the First World War by the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke (Fokker Aircraft Company) for the Imperial German Navy's (Kaiserliche Marine) Naval Air Service (Marine-Fliegerabteilung) during the First World War. First flown in 1915, it was used by the armed forces of Germany and Austro-Hungary. As the M.7 became obsolete, it was relegated to training duties.
