Abstract: We classify the (finite and infinite) virtually cyclic subgroups of the pure braid groups $P_n(R{P}^2)$ of the projective plane. The maximal finite subgroups of $P_n(R{P}^2)$ are isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8 if $n=3$, and to $$ if $ngeq4$. Further, for all $ngeq3$, up to isomorphism, the following groups are the infinite virtually cyclic subgroups of $P_n(R{P}^2)$: $$, $$ and the amalgamated product $$.
