Isn't that a Japanese 400-class?
Those were the largest conventional Subs ever built.

It is, in fact, a Hall PH.
I couldn't have named the model even knowing for sure it was built by Hall. I was only able to narrow down the manufacturer because Curtiss, Hall, and Naval Aircraft Factory made almost all the golden age flying boats used by the US and it was too modern for a Curtis.

This one will be easy for a lot of folks, but it is still interesting.
What did this pilot and plane do?

Yeah I ran across that very pic the other day while looking for a picture I posted in this very thread. I'll not cheat so someone else can take a stab at it.

I think I know what it is, being a Japanese sea plane, but am unsure.
How many bombed the mainland? wasn't there just one?

I think there was only one - anyone know of more?

That's how I ran across that picture the other day. I was posting a question about this very subject.
And to answer your question. Yes, sort of.

Yep. Char B1 heavy tank from France. Germany took some after the fall of France and used them as well.

That's what they did.
The airplane is a Yokosuka E14Y Glen. Warrant Officer Nobuo Fujita and Petty Officer Okuda Shoji bombed an Oregon forest with it on 9/9/42. The first and only time the US has been bombed by an enemy aviator.
They wanted to start forest fires. The Japanese were somewhat obsessed with the idea they could trigger widespread forest fires in the US. They launched over 9,000 of these guys hoping the jet stream would carry them from Japan to here.

Yep, that's what I posted about 40 or 50 pages ago. I think a few actually made it.

Some did. Caused a few fires.

What is unique about this Panther?

Only casualties were a mother and her 4 kids when they went to investigate what it was.

Here's an oddball....
The ship in the middle was a conceptual aircraft carrier that one country very seriously considered building during WWII. To show the scale of this monster, there are drawings of what looks to be an Iowa class battleship & Nimitz class carrier on either side of it.
1. What country conceived this monster?
2. What was the project named?
3. Other than it's size, what was really odd about this ship?
Bonus: This project all most killed a top ranking American naval officer. Who was it and what happened?

Infra-red light gives it night fighting capabilities. The Germans did a lot of research and development along these lines late in the war.
