The FK.52 reconnaissance aircraft first flew on 9 February 1937. The prototype was lost in a fatal crash here at Soesterberg on 11 August 1937. Koolhoven built five more airframes but there were no sales until 1940 when the Dutch army air force ordered 36, to be designated FK.59s. Two of the white tails were bought by the Swedish Count von Rosen for Finland in January 1940, including this one which became KO-130. Both aircraft saw combat during the last week of the Winter War in March 1940. KO-130 was shot down by Soviet AAA over Hanko on 16 August 1941.
