The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 was a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War designed by John Kenworthy at the Royal Aircraft Factory. Intended as a replacement for the vulnerable B.E.2 the R.E.8 was widely regarded as more difficult to fly and gained a reputation in the Royal Flying Corps for being unsafe that was never entirely dispelled. Although eventually it gave reasonably satisfactory service it was never an outstanding combat aircraft.
