Pomilio FVL-8 was a U.S. biplane fighter from 1919. It was made by Fabbrica Aeroplani Ing. O. Pomilio for the Engineering Division of the U.S. Signal Corps and designed by Otterino Pomilio. The plane had a wood frame with plywood covering, and its wings were mounted with struts away from the fuselage. It was powered by a Liberty 8 engine and carried two machine guns. Six prototypes were built, with the first flight in February 1919. No production order was ever placed.
