Fiat G.8

Two-seater biplane for touring and aerobatic training, constructed of wood and metal, single-engine.

The G.8 had an almost oval cross-section fuselage with a welded tube structure, wooden wings, fixed landing gear, and a 135 hp Fiat engine.

Eight servicemen went to the autonomous squadrons of the ZAT (Territorial Air Zones) and to the commands for the training of officers assigned to offices.

On the eve of the declaration of war, there were over 50 G.8s, many of which were used for liaison duties with combat units.

The last efficient G.8 was transferred to the Aero Club d'Italia and became I-ZATO in 1954.
