The Kawanishi H8K "Emily" was a Japanese World War II flying boat used for long-range reconnaissance, patrol, and transport. First flown in 1941, it was heavily armed, featuring multiple 20mm cannons and 7.7mm machine guns, making it one of the most formidable flying boats of the war. Powered by four Mitsubishi Kasei radial engines, it had excellent range, speed, and durability. The H8K conducted maritime patrols, bombing raids, and transport missions, proving resilient against enemy fighters. Despite limited production (167 built), it was considered one of the best flying boats of its time, serving until Japan's surrender in 1945.

Kawanishi H8K2 Emily

Designed to meet an Imperial Japanese Naval requirement for a larger flying boat than the H6K, the Kawanishi H8K was first flown on December 31st, 1940. In its first operational mission, the H8K set out to bomb Pearl Harbor, putting down in the pacific to refuel from a submarine. A long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft, H8K (codenamed "Emily" by the Allies) with its impressive cannon armament, outstanding speed and ASV radar gave American submarines and ships great reason for concern. The Emily's shoulder-mounted wing assembly housed the four Mitsubishi engines that gave it the endurance to patrol for 24-hour missions.
