I'll try to find what planes Nagato carried at that time to confirm their types.Arawasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356734843656289711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160546163844864803.post-30515721026087922982012-07-05T03:03:07.577+09:002012-07-05T03:03:07.577+09:00The fin and rudder shape plus the way the lower wi...The fin and rudder shape plus the way the lower wing root is faired into the fuselage (trailing edge of the lower wing being below the fuselage line) make me think that the plane closest to the camera is E8N1. The farther plane is definitely E4N (again judging by the fin and rudder shape). This is very interesting as it seems that in April 1936 Nagato was equipped with two different seaplane types, the older E4N and the newer E8N.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />IskenderIskendernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160546163844864803.post-81957624609892906052012-07-03T10:04:23.629+09:002012-07-03T10:04:23.629+09:00Unfortunately no.
