Yokosuka H5Y Flying Boat

The Yokosuka H5Y was a twin engined flying boat operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. Intended as a cheaper version of larger flying boats such as the Kawanishi H6K, it proved to have poor performance and was relegated to transport and training duties. It had the Allied reporting name Cherry.
