timeline April 9 The world’s largest all-metal flying boat, the Short Brothers K.F.1, undergoes trials over Osaka Bay under a secret arrangement with the Imperial Japanese Navy. Powered by three 825-hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines, the aircraft spans 101 ft 10 in. and stretches 74 ft 5 in. Kawanishi Aircraft of Kobe holds the construction license for Short metal flying boats.

with picture Designed in the early 1930s, the H3K1 was already phased out of service by the mid-1930s. Five examples were built under license from an English design, using components mostly acquired from England, including the three imported 825hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines that each aircraft used. Experience with this design helped Kawanishi in later years when they manufactured the large H6K and H8K flying boats that were used extensively during the war. At the beginning of the war, however, lack of intelligence on the H3K led the Allies to believe that it was still in service, and so it was assigned the codename "Belle".
