10 D.XVII's were ordered by the Air Force (201 - 210) and 207 was built in 1933. In March 1939 207 was part of the 2 JaVA, based at Waalhaven. On May 12, 1940 3 D.XVII's took off for Ruigenroek, but all 3 experienced landing incidents. 203 braked too hard and ground looped, 207 undershot the runway and 205 suffered landing gear damage when running into barbed wire. 203 and 207 were write-offs.
