- 1943 Navy Kawanishi "Type 97", MacArthur name "Mavis"
- World War II Japanese patrol bomber aeroplane
- Original aeroplane recognition poster (1943)
- 63x47cm
A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes; this series - and we have many in this series - takes a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view.
The Kawanishi H6K Type 97 seaplane originated in 1933 and was known to the Allies as "Mavis". It saw service throughout World War II and was one of Japan's finest long-range naval reconnaissance planes. The 215 aircraft in various models, which were built between 1938 and 1942, were also given other duties, including transport and bombing.
When the war first broke out there were 68 of these large seaplanes on front-line duty. While they were occasionally used for bombing in the first few months of the war, bombing missions soon became dangerous for the Mavis. The seaplane was very vulnerable as it left its crew unprotected and its fuel tanks were not self-sealing. This eventually led to the aircraft being used primarily in the war for reconnaissance purposes. These seaplanes were extremely useful in ocean reconnaissance because of their great range.
