The Netherlands navy and the Netherlands East Indies air force received two Pander Ds each, although these small single-seaters were of little military value. These military Panders were fitted with a protective structure behind the pilot's seat. The navy's Fokker D.VII fighters similarly received protective headrests, but D-26 and D-27 do not yet have them here. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

Prototype of the Pander D single-seat light sport monoplane, first flown on 16 November 1924. Designed by Theo Slot it was based on the earlier Carley C.12 and Holland H.2. Pander was a well-known furniture maker and the wooden construction of the plane was well acclaimed. Ten Pander Ds were built. Four were delivered to the Dutch navy and the East Indies army for evaluation as trainers, but used for pleasure flights. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie
