Yokosuka E1Y3 / 一四式水上偵察機 3号: Photos from a vintage publication of a Navy Type 14-3 Reconnaissance seaplane, Yokosuka E1Y3, of which 102 were built by Aichi between 1931-1934. It has a 4-blade propeller, a 450hp Lorraine 3 engine and was carried aboard the battleship "Kongo" as indicated by the katakana on the tail and fuselage.
