    The Kawanishi K-8B seaplanes J-TUST ("Giyu No.1") c/n 6 and J-TUTU ("Giyu No.2") c/n 7 on their beaching trollies at Osaka. These aircraft were ordered by the Teikoku Kaibo Gikai (Imperial Maritime Defence Volunteer Association) and operated by Nippon Koku KK (Japan Aviation Co Ltd) which was actually a Kawanishi-owned company. Together the two K-8Bs made a public demonstration flight around Japan, completing two separate circuits from Osaka, one in April and the other in May 1927, a total of over 4,500 km amid great publicity.
    They were each powered by a 260-305hp
    Maybach M IVa six-cyl water-cooled inline
    engine giving a cruising speed of 92mph.
