How could Pyro say no to such a wonderful plane, and with such good information as posted by Mitsu?!

I'm going to have to point out this thread to him at the con. I've been begging him for the Emily for over a year now.

Great thread Mitsu!

I had assumed that because it was a flying boat it would have no belly defense, much like the Ki-67.  However I see in those diagrams that only the B-17 and B-24 would have more verticle downward fire.  Of course in the B-17 and B-24 they are .50 cals and on the Emily they are 7.7mms, but anything is better than nothing.

I want this bird even more now.

Hummmmm!  I wonder where the Japanese got the idea to make that type of frame?  Looks alot like a Lockheed flying boat that went missing in the Pacific before the war.

What was the name of that flying boat?  The China Clipper?

Swager,

Nope.  If you read the development history of the H8K you'll see that it is an independantly developed design.  It is considered to be the single biggest jump in flying boats ever.  You don't get that by making a copy of somebody else's design.

Also look at the Short Sunderland.  Was that also a copy of the Pacific Clipper?  The fact of the matter is that Flying Boats being, well, boats places heavy limits on the types of fuselages that are appropriate.  Big flying boats all tend to look something like the Pacific Clipper / H8K / Sunderland.

Crew Compartment

Some pics are from H8K2-L "Seiku" (Transporter), but its cockpit is almost the same as H8K2 Emily.


(right bottom photo is H8K2 Emily's cockpit.)


(Upper photo is H8K2-L's direction search and radio room. Middile pic shows H8K2's crew compartment. Bottom photo is sponson gunner's room.)
