H8K Emily Pictures

Here are some pictures of the wreck and the only surviving H8K. Bruce Bateman (Saipan Saipanuvian Speaks) didn't sleep for days in order to ID the plane wreck 'formerly known as' B-29.

Below is a comparison of the nose bubble.



Check out the match of the bubble and antenna placement on the cockpit in the pictures below.

Thanks for those great pictures, Richard. I would still be out there trying to find a top view to match up the cockpit windows and the antenna pass through hole. I was beginning to see airplanes in my sleep.

I still owe you a free dive trip with your customers to the H8K and the Shipwreck for all your help. As soon as I get off my ass and get the Emerald repaired we'll go.
