The Kawanishi H8K
The Kawanishi H8K was also called “Emily” by the Allied military personnel during the Second World War. The Imperial Japanese Navy flying boat had been primarily used to patrol the seas. Several variants of this model had been developed since the first one came out, although only four of them lived to see the end of the war. There is an Emily submerged off the Saipan coast, which is a treat for scuba divers!
