Arado Ar 80
The Arado Ar 80 was a pre World War II fighter aircraft, designed to compete for the Luftwaffe’s first major fighter contract.
The Ar 80 was uninspiring in terms of performance and also suffered a number of failures.
The contest was eventually won by the Messerschmitt Bf 109, and the Ar 80 prototypes ended their days as test aircraft.
