I stumbled across this video of Japanese floatplane being engaged by an American fighter plane some time during the second world war, and was wondering if anyone knew what type of aircraft the Japanese plane in the video was?

I'm thinking the same like Sheldrake.
The plane must be an Kawanishi E7K Type 94 ("Alf")
