| | The Kawanishi H6K "Mavis" & H8K "Emily" Flying Boats (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Kawanishi replied with a new design, the "Type S", that had been evolved from the two earlier submissions. |
 | | The Type S was accepted, and the first of four prototypes of the "H6K1", as the IJN referred to it, performed its initial flight on 14 July 1936, with Katsuji Kondo at the controls. |
 | | The H6K remained in transport service to the end of the war, and a few were apparently used in Indonesia for a few years after the conflict. |
