The Albatros W.8 was a German biplane fighter floatplane that saw service during First World War. It patrolled the seas around 1918. The fuselage of the aircraft was made of wood, similar to most aircraft designs of that period. The W.8 had a water-cooled Benz Bz.IIIb eight-cylinder engine fitted with a fixed two-bladed wooden propeller.
