Kawanishi H8K “Emily” - Flying Battleship 01.05.2026 37минShe was an update to the H6K Mavis and perhaps the best flying boat of the war. She participated in the SECOND Pearl Harbour attack (Yes!

Kawanishi H6K "Mavis": The First Queen of Pacific Distance 18.04.2026 37минBorn of a naval treaty loophole that traded airfields for flying boats, the Kawanishi H6K "Mavis" became the eyes of the Imperial Japanese Navy across the vast Pacific. In this episode, I explore how this massive four-engine monoplane—inspired by British designs—achieved a staggering 24-hour endurance, operating from remote lagoons to strike targets as far as Australia. We’ll break down the technical leap from biplanes to the "Mavis" and recount the gritty, slow-motion "heavyweight dogfight" of 1942, where Mavis traded blows with an American B-17. Join us as we trace the rise of this long-range pioneer and the vulnerabilities that eventually saw it outmatched by faster, armored hunters and how "Mavis" paved the way for the legendary "Emily."

Aichi M6A Seiran 20.03.2026 31минWhat if Japan could have launched bombers from submarines anywhere in the world? This was not a sci-fi dream — it was the very real (and very bold) wartime plan behind the Aichi M6A Seiran.

Warbirders Have Questions! Q&A 2026 07.03.2026 2мин"The only bad question is the one you don't ask." I never want my show to be excluding listeners with unexplained acronyms or jargon concepts.
