Fujimi 722818 Type 14 Light Reconnaissance Seaplane

The Yokosuka E14Y is a Japanese mixed low-wing double-float reconnaissance seaplane from the Second World War, known under the Allied code designation as Glen. The flight of the prototype took place in 1939, and serial production continued in 1941-1943. The creator of the aircraft was Mitsuo Yamada. The E14Y was intended to serve on ocean-going submarines, replacing the Watanabe E9W, therefore the wings were folded along the fuselage. The drive was a Hitachi GK2 Tempu 12 engine with a maximum power of 340KM. The E14Y, the only foreign plane during the Second World War, dropped bombs on the American continent. He took off from the catapult of the I-25 submarine. It was piloted by Ensign Nobuo Fujita, together with Petty Officer Shoji Okida on board, as navigator and observer. The E14Y1 seaplane raided the Oregon coast near Brookings on September 9 and 29, 1942, taking two 76 kg of phosphorus incendiary bombs in each flight. These raids were a retaliation for the famous raid on Tokyo and other Japanese cities, carried out in April 1942 by the bombers of Colonel Jimmy Doolittle from the carrier USS "Hornet".
