[OLD][EA25]KAWANISHI H8K

大　艇　再　び　還　ら　ず
The Kawanishi H8K was a large, four-engine aircraft designed for long range and extended endurance on patrols or bombing missions typically flown alone over the ocean. The prototype first flew in January 1941 and H8K1s made their first combat sortie in March 1942. The robust H8K2 "Emily" flying boat was also fitted with powerful defensive armament, which Allied pilots had substantial respect for wherever this aircraft was encountered in the Pacific theater. The H8K was called by Japanese aircraft researcher René Francillon "the most outstanding water-based combat aircraft of the second World War."
