The Most Threatening Planes In Military History

The Kawanishi H8K

During World War II, military folks had a nickname for this huge plane – they called it “Emily” over the radios. It was a flying boat used by the Japanese Navy, mostly for patrolling the seas. After the first one, they made different versions of Emily, but by the end of the war, only four were still around.

One of these Emilys is now underwater near Saipan, a place people like to go scuba diving. It’s like a hidden treasure for divers, a real piece of history sitting at the bottom of the ocean. So, even though these planes are no longer in the sky, they still have a special place in the world as a fascinating underwater attraction for adventure seekers.
