The Kawanishi H3K, also called the Navy Type 90-2 Flying Boat, was a Japanese biplane military flying boat of the interwar period. It was a licensed development of the Short S.8/8 Rangoon, built from the Short S.15 K.F.1 design, an all-metal biplane with three Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines mounted between the wings. Kawanishi inspected Short Brothers designs in 1929 for a long-range reconnaissance flying boat for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The first aircraft was built by Short Brothers and flew on 10 October 1930, and Kawanishi built the remaining four in Japan, the last in February 1933. The Navy accepted the type in October 1932 and used it for patrol and training until the end of 1936.
