Piaggio P-108B

This was a four-engined bomber, the only Italian W.W.II aircraft in this category. Only 163 were built and their operational use was even more restricted by bad mechanical problems. Its combat use was limited to a number of attacks by small numbers of aircraft. The P.108A was fitted with a 102 mm gun, fitted in the nose with a slight depression. The P.108C and P.108T were transport aircraft.
