Latécoère 8

The Latécoère 8 was a French airliner built in 1921 but only to the extent of a single example. It was a conventional two-bay biplane with unstaggered wings and fixed tailskid undercarriage. The five-seat passenger cabin was fully enclosed and featured a celluloid panel on its ceiling as an emergency exit. The pilot sat in a separate open cockpit to the rear of the passenger cabin.
