Messerschmitt Me 208
The Messerschmitt Me 208 is a development of the Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun with retractable tri-cycle landing gear. The Bf 108 production line was transfered to the plant of Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord in 1942. After the liberation of France, the designation was changed to Nord 1100 Noralpha. The production variants were re-engined with Renault engines (N1101 - Renault 6Q 10 / N1102 - Renault 6Q 11).
