Kawanishi H8K “Emily” Type 2 Flying Boat (slipcover)
Kawanishi’s H8K (Allied code name
Emily) is often named as World War II’s most succesful as well as most elegant flying boat design. It was long ranged and well armed while possessing a sweet flying disposition. A few survived the war, at least initially, though with only one still in existence thankfully this Emily is on public display. Its trip from the South Pacific to the U.S. and its return to Japan (as a gift from the United States) is epic. There is only the one Emily now and there is only this one book on the Emily and both are spectacularly done.
