Japanese Kawanishi H8K seaplane after straifing. Kwajalein

Squad of Rufe's at Bougainville PNG. These planes were very nimble even with the damn pontoons.

The A6M2-N float plane version of the Zero did extremely well, suffering only a small loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed was not affected, however, the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment.
