 |  | Designed
            by the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the prototype XN3N-1 first
            flew in August 1935.  Used as a trainer, almost all N3Ns were
            surplused at the end of World War II except for a few floatplanes
            which remained in service at the U.S. Naval Academy until 1961. The N3N acquired the nickname "Yellow
            Peril" for its all yellow paint scheme when in U.S. Navy
            training service. |
