The Antonov An-8, known by the NATO reporting name "Camp," was developed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Its first flight took place in 1956, with production lasting until 1961. The aircraft was mainly used by Soviet military aviation as well as other Eastern Bloc countries. Designed for transporting military cargo, vehicles, troops, and paratroopers, the An-8 was one of the pillars of Soviet air logistics in the early Cold War period.

An-8 aircraft participated in numerous military operations and exercises from the late 1950s to the late 1970s, after which they were gradually retired in favor of more modern designs. Featuring a characteristic silhouette, high-wing configuration, and two turboprop engines, this model is an interesting addition to any military aviation history enthusiast’s collection.
