Mitsubishi F1M "Reikan" (Pete) - Nakajima E8N (Dave)

Mitsubishi F1M "Reikan" (Pete) - Nakajima E8N (Dave): A photo from a vintage magazine. A Mitsubishi F1M and a Nakajima E8N right before taking off on another mission somewhere in the South Pacific.
I have not seen many photos of Daves operating in the S. Pacific from seaplane bases or islands. From warships yes, from islands not many.

From the hills in the background location seems likely Malaguna Beach, Simpson Harbor, Rabaul. Luca Ruffato
