The '''Fiat G.8''' was a military utility aircraft produced in [[Italy]] in the mid-1930s. Its design and production were undertaken at the [[CMASA]] works in [[Pisa]] which became part of Fiat in 1930, hence the type is sometimes referred to as the '''CMASA G.8''' or '''Fiat-CMASA G.8'''. It was a conventional [[biplane]] design with staggered wings of unequal span braced by struts arranged in a [[Warren truss]]. The pilot and a single passenger (or instructor) sat in tandem open [[cockpit]]s, and the aircraft was fitted with fixed [[Conventional landing gear|tailskid undercarriage]] with divided main units.

Sixty of these aircraft were purchased by the ''[[Regia Aeronautica]]'' and used for liaison and [[Trainer aircraft|training]] duties.
