Kawanishi N1K kyofu

  1. Kawanishi was a company obsessed with the concept of flying boats. They did have their place at one point in time - but by the time that the N1K took to the air, the "ship had sailed", so to speak. Their only use turned out to be that of allowing for an easy kill and another zero painted on an American fuselage.

  2. Kawanishi still makes flying boats, although under a different name these days, ShinMaywa.
