皇家飞机制造厂 R.E.8 was a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War designed and produced at the Royal Aircraft Factory. It was also built under contract by Austin Motors, Daimler, Standard Motors, Siddeley-Deasy and the Coventry Ordnance Works. 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. Nonetheless, it remained the standard British reconnaissance and artillery observation aircraft from mid-1917 to the end of the war, serving alongside the rather more popular Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8.

text The Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 was a British two-seat biplane reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the First World War. It was designed and produced at the Royal Aircraft Factory, and also built under contract by several other manufacturers. The R.E.8 was intended to replace the outdated and vulnerable B.E.2, and to provide a more capable and versatile aircraft for observation, photography, artillery spotting and bombing missions. The R.E.8 had a more powerful engine, a better armament, a sturdier structure and a more spacious cockpit than the B.E.2. It also had a distinctive large vertical fin and rudder that gave it a distinctive appearance.
R.E.8于1916年6月首飞,并于1917年初投入使用。它最初不受飞行员的欢迎,他们发现它难以处理且容易旋转。然而,经过一些修改和训练,R.E.8被证明是一种可靠而有效的飞机,可以执行各种角色。它被RFC和RAF在西线以及意大利,巴勒斯坦和美索不达米亚等其他战区广泛使用。它也由澳大利亚飞行队和比利时航空军事队运营。到战争结束时,已经生产了4,000多架R.E.8,使其成为战争中数量最多的英国飞机之一。
R.E.8在战后迅速退役,因为当时它被认为已经过时了。取而代之的是更现代的飞机,如布里斯托尔F.2战斗机和德哈维兰D.H.9。R.E.8是空中侦察和轰炸发展的重要飞机,并为盟军在第一次世界大战中的胜利做出了贡献。
