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.
