Title: Piaggio PD808

The PD-808 was developed as a joint venture between the Douglas Aircraft Company 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 title contains two manuals for the Piaggio PD-808 including the flight manual, in Italian, and three brochures in English, two on the aircraft and one on the engine. The files have been copied from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages unless otherwise stated.
