Re: Photos Japanese Aircraft

The site you looked at is not so bad I think, but in this case it is wrong.

Superficially the two types Kawanishi K-8 and the Dornier Do D were similar but
in detail very different.

The photo shown (bottom right) and registration is correct for the K-8A but not for the Do D.
Not sure why the site got it wrong since they list the aircraft as a Kawanishi (left column)
and then say Kawasaki (right column).

As far as I know the Do D never carried a civil Japanese registration. The IJN was not
interested in the end.
Incidentally the Yugoslavs were not very happy with the aircraft either.

Cheers
Stig
