	Axis History Factbook: Kawanishi H6K & H8K
		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 18th H8K flying boat was built with uprated MK4Q Kasei 22 engines, each with 1,380 kW (1,850 HP), plus a modified tailfin and increased fuel capacity, and was given the new designation "H8K2 Type 2 Model 12".

	AVIA - Kawanishi H8K 'Emily'
		The H8K 'Emily' was Japan's preeminent flying-boat, a superb design which was also considered by many to be the best flying-boat of World War II, far superior to anything in the US or British arsenals.
		It had incredible range, an endurance of up to 25 hours, was able to carry a considerable bomb load; best of all (and surprising for a Japanese aircraft), it was sufficiently protected to be quite difficult to shoot down, a quality which was to prove indispensable as Japan's air superiority was slowly eroded.
		So advanced was the H8K that it would take many years after the war for another flying boat to equal it in performance and technology.

	H8k2
		The H8K flying boat was conceived in 1938 as a replacement for the Kawanishi H6K / Type 97 (later known as "Mavis" to the Allies), which represented an earlier generation of flying boat design.
		Production of the H8K declined in the last year of the war, as the Japanese material situation became increasingly desperate, and priority was given to the production of fighters for the defense of the home islands.
		The Kawanishi H8K1 was also responsible for three attacks on Townsville in Queensland Australia in late July 1942.

	The Kawanishi H6K "Mavis" & H8K "Emily" Flying Boats
		The relative vulnerability and small size of the wing tanks suggests that they were to be drained first in a mission, which would also improve the aircraft's handling.
		A transport version, the "H8K4-L", was considered, but by that time the military situation was becoming desperate, priority was being given to the production of fighters for the defense of the home islands, and no more H8Ks were built.
		The purpose of this aircraft was unusual, possibly unique: it was specifically designed to train aircrew for the H8K Emily.

	Kawanishi H8K Emily (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The H8K was a big four engine shoulder-wing flying boat with a crew of 10.
		This well-armed, sturdy aircraft flew long-range reconnaissance missions; and were regarded as hard to shoot down by allied fighters, due to their armament and speed.
		The H8K was undoubtedly the best flying boat, built by any nation during WWII.

	Kawanishi H8K - IJN Flying Boat
		During the early part of the Pacific War the Japanese Navy's standard ocean patrol flying boat was the H6K - which the Allies gave the reporting-name 'Mavis'.
		Though Kawanishi had a technical agreement with the British firm of Short Brothers, the H6K strongly resembled a Sikorsky S.42, and was an excellent aircraft.
		In the H8K Kawanishi produced a design which represented the biggest single leap in the design of such aircraft in all of aviation history.

	Spennemann, Japanese Sea Plane Operations in the Marshall Islands
		The lagoon is usually clam enough to permit unrestricted landing and take-off of larger flying boats, and so it is not surprising that the lagoons were used as seaplane bases first by civilian and later by military aviation.
		Long-range seaplanes became available in 1936 with the introduction of the Kawanishi H6K flying boat and in 1942 with the introduction of the Kawanishi H8K flying boat.
		Kawanishi flying boats based at Jaluit and Wotje were also used as long-range bombers and on March 4-5, 1942, bombed Oahu, Hawaii, in retaliation of the U.S. carrier strike against the Marshalls in early February 1943.

		Kawanishi Kokuki Kabushiki Kaisha (The Kawanishi Aircraft Company Limited) was established in November 1928 with its factory being located at Naruo Mukogun Hyogoken near Kobe.
		Before World War II, Kawanishi had an association with Short Brothers of Belfast (builders of magnificient flying boats like the Sunderland/ Sandringham) but their first large flying boat, the H6K Mavis was based more on the Sikorsky S.42.
		The Kawanishi H8K Emily flying boat is now universally recognised as the finest flying boat of World War II.

		Designed in response to a 1938 specification for a replacement for the Kawanishi H6K, the result was the H8K.
		Comprising the single greatest leap in flying boat technology, the H8K was the most advanced flying boat of WWII and for many years after the war.
		In fact, their first sortie was to have been a bombing raid on Oahu, Hawaii, with a stop for refueling by submarine.

	Kawanishi Aircraft Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kawanishi Aircraft Company was a Japanese aircraft manufacturer during World War II.
		It was founded in 1920 in Hyogo prefecture as an outgrowth of the Kawanishi conglomerate, which had been funding the Nakajima Aircraft Company.
		While Kawanishi was best known for its seaplanes such as the H8K flying boat, its N1K-J land-based fighter was considered one of the best in the war.

		The Kawanishi H8K, Allied codename “Emily,” was the most advanced flying boat design of the Second World War.
		From its introduction in 1941 the type served the Imperial Japanese Navy as an outstanding long-range patrol bomber and transport.
		This site was inspected and filmed on the morning of May 8, 2004 and was found to be generally as described in the 1997 survey.

		Most noticeable were a high conventional tail in place of the PBM's pinwheel, and a hull with a longer afterbody in place of the traditional "step" beneath the tail.
		The idea was supposedly based on the Japanese Kawanishi H8K "Emily" of World War II.
		Besides allowing for more interior space, the longer hull improved the plane's seaworthiness by reducing the amount of "porpoising" between wave crests.

		In a few cases, when the designed role of an aircraft changed, the new use was indicated by adding a dash and a second type letter to the end of the existing short designation.
		Thus the H6K4 was the sixth flying boat (H6) designed by Kawanishi (K), fourth version of that design (4).
		These popular names were most used on designs which came into service later in the war, such as the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (Thunderbolt) and Kawanishi N1K Shiden (Violet Lightning), both interceptors.

		Two of their designs, the Kawanishi H8K "Emily" and the Mitsubishi Ki-46 "Dinah," were equal to those of any nation.
		Unfortunately for the Japanese, there were too few of them and when air superiority was lost they were too vulnerable to American fighters.

		The two smaller carriers flew CAP and ASP missions in the area for the next two weeks, protecting Army troops and Navy construction battalions ("Seabees") as they built an airstrip on the island.
