IDENTITIES
I
HJ ERE are two more silhouettes (see last month's FLYING,
page 52) of the Short Sunderland and the Jap Emily.
From the side, these two planes are quite similar in silhouette
and could easily be mistaken for each other in the Pacific area.
They are virtually the same length and have other similarities.
The Sunderland has a blunter and shorter nose with a gun
turret at the top, and a blunt tail turret compared with the
tapering tail turret on Emily. Emily has a top turret midway
between wings and tail, a slanting vertical fin, a larger green-
house and N-shaped struts supporting the wing tip floats.r' I
Short Sunderland length: 85 ft. 4 in.
-E
Jap Emily length: 92 ft. 3 in.
