PIAGGIO PD-808

The PD-808 was developed as a joint venture between the
Douglas Aircraft Compay of Long Beach and Piaggio of Italy.
Initially known as the "Vespa-Jet" due to its small size, the
first example flew in 1964.

Unfortunately there was a lack of commercial interest in the
aircraft and Douglas withdrew from the project. Piaggio
continued with Italian government funding, but only 24
aircraft were built, 22 of which went to the Italian Air Force
for VIP transport, training, Electronic warfare and calibration
duties.

This CD contains two manuals for the Piaggio PD-808
including the flight manual, in Italian, and one brochure
in English. This CD has been copied from the original flight
manuals and retains any colour pages.
