| Tom Currie Knoxville, TN | Herr Hetjens is right- the 108 was a sport plane. However it was a very close relative of the 109. When someone (possibly me-I know I\'ve seen a pic somewhere) uploads a photo, note the vertical stabilizer-almost exactly like that of a 109, right down to the swastika position. I think the wings are similar too, or at least square-tipped. 10/03/2000 @ 21:43 |

| Johannes Hetjens hetti1@t-online.de Geldern, OTH | Hello,
the Bf-108 "Taifun" was really not a fighter! The Bf-108 was the first aircraft for general aviation. The Bf-108 is a typical travel-aircraft and still up to date. The Bf-108 is a fourseater, flown by one or two pilots like a Cessna 172. The engine is not an Argud but an Argus V8-engine. Greetings Johannes Hetjens 04/16/2000 @ 15:11 |
