Beautiful flying boats ... I can't resist a well-turned hull .
It was good, IMO, for GIs to see such and begin to grasp that their asian enemies were awesome engineers and designers ... and they didn't just kludge together others' existing technologies

Good point, MM.
The wave-dissipating hull design was Kawanishi's lineage.
Recent one looks Americanized to me.
