t2audio Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hey Group, I'm a post-sound mixer working on a doc about a Japanese pilot who was involved in the only mainland US bombing during WWII, near Brookings, Oregon. Fascinating story, really. https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=36393.0 I'm trying to get a sense of what it might have sounded like. This was a small seaplane, a Yokosuka E14Y with a 340 hp Hitachi Tempu 12 9 cyl engine. An eyewitness to the attack (he was in a nearby fire outlook) described it as very odd sounding- like someone kicking a can down the street. So, probably much different sounding than a typical seaplane. Maybe he was throttled back. Who knows. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 If you have seen the film Tora! Tora! Tora!, they used all period planes while filming. Maybe that could give you a sense of what the sound may have been like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2audio Posted November 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Good idea- thanks, Jon. It's been a while since I've seen that film! This is a small float plane, smaller than a de Havilland Beaver (450 hp) so I figure it's gonna sound more like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 You should check out a company called Pole Position Audio, they record stuff for the Battlefield gams I believe, they might have something you need.. Max Lachmann is a name there, he’s a member here I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheSoundSideOfLife Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 It's a different model I think, but could give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I probably have something or can find something: depends on what exactly you need and when you need it. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
