There was some pretty good footage of Mitsubishi G3Ms later too.

This is acctually dutch WH-3 (Glenn-Martin model 166) which is somewhat different than earlier WH-1 and 2 (Glenn-Martin model 139WH) which were updated B-10's. Most visible modification of WH-3 in comparison to earlier models (WH-1 and 2, B-10) were wings (swept back), nose (shorter and more round) and canopy glasing (one piece on WH-3 and 2 piece for earlier models)

BTW does anyone have detail of bomb bay and flap area of B-10 i.e. model 139WH as i have a Williams Bross 1/72 kit that i want to detail a bit.

I belive these are detail pic's of ML KNIL WH-2:

Just found a nice little video of Kallang Airfield, Singapore 1941, with some of the Dutch aircraft sent over to help. A nice look at the Martin 139WH (export version of B10), followed by three Dutch Brewster Buffalos, and lastly an RAAF Hudson.

Not sure where the shull has come from!

Just know I'm gonna spend ages looking through this web site for more gems!
