| Introduced in 1935, the Me 108 Taifun Schnellflugzeug (Quick Trip Aircraft) manufactured by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke in Augusburg, Germany quickly established itself as a world-class two and four seater. German aviatrix Elly Beinhorn began establishing flight records with the plane before she married world famous German auto racer Bernd Rosemeyer in 1936. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The plane was successful enough in its first version that it was almost immediately produced in a four place configuration. The brochures we offer here as a lot are the two principal sales brochures for the four place version of the Me 108. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The second brochure also measures 8-1/4 x 8-3/4 inches, also has 12 pages but is printed in black and white. It provides a little more technical data and a fine series of close-up photos of the machine itself.
Light staining to the lower spine on both booklets but otherwise in very good condition. |
