The Levasseur PL.8 was a single engine, two-seat long-distance record-breaking biplane aircraft modified from an existing Levasseur PL.4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft produced in France in the 1920s. Levasseur built the aircraft in 1927, specifically for pilots Charles Nungesser and François Coli for a transatlantic attempt to win the Orteig Prize. Only two examples of the type were built, with the first PL.8-01 named L'Oiseau Blanc (The White Bird), that gained fame as Nungesser and Coli's aircraft.

  • Levasseur PL 8 var ett franskt dubbeldäckat flygplan som utvecklades ur det tresitsiga marinflygplanet , som ursprungligen konstruerades för franska marinen av Levasseur. Flygplanet PL-8 specialmodifierades för Charles Nungesser och flygförsök över Atlanten 1927. Vingarna förlängdes och flygplanet utrustades med en 12-cylindrig Lorraine-Dietrich V-motor på 450 hk. Vattenkylarna monterades in i det undre vingparet. Motorn drev en tvåbladig propeller av duralumin med 3,8 meters diameter, frigången från marken vid start var 20 cm. Hjullandstället som vägde 123 kg kunde frigöras från flygplanskroppen efter start för att minska flygplanets luftmotstånd och vikt. För den händelse man skulle tvingas att nödlanda på vattnet utformades flygplanskroppen vattentät och i en skrovform som möjliggjorde (sv)
