The DC.I was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered, unequal-span wings braced by N-struts and was derived from the Fokker C.IV design. The pilot and observer sat in tandem, open cockpits, and the undercarriage was of fixed, tailskid configuration, with the main units linked by a cross-axle. The wings were of wooden construction, and the fuselage was of welded steel tube covered in fabric Fokker DC.I was designed and built during 1923 in the Netherlands.

In the end, several pieces served in the Dutch East India where they flew from 1925 to 1934 years.
