Nakajima E8N 'Dave' floatplanes - Pearl Harbor
I gathered that the Nakajima E8N 'Dave' floatplane was the only biplane type on Japanese side in the Pearl Harbor attack, be it in a short range recce role.
Apart from the IJN heavy cruisers Tone and Chikuma, were more ships equipped with the 'Dave' on 7 December 1941? Thanks for any info. Regards, Leendert |

2 December 1941: 940 miles N of Midway Island. Nagumo’s Force receives the coded signal "Niitakayama nobore (Climb Mt. Niitaka) 1208" from the Combined Fleet. It signifies that X-Day hostilities will commence on 8 December (Japan time). That same day, the oilers refuel BatDiv 3/1's HIEI and KIRISHIMA. 7 December 1941: The Attack on Pearl Harbor: At 0630, BatDiv 3/1 launches Type 95 Nakajima E8N "Dave" two-seat reconnaissance floatplanes to patrol south of the Striking Force. CruDiv 8 also launches picket floatplanes. |
