The Naval Aircraft Factory N3N was an American tandem-seat, open cockpit, primary training biplane aircraft built by the Naval Aircraft Factory (NAF) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the 1930s.
A.K.A. "Yellow Peril." (http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/history-up-close/n3n-original-yellow-peril/) My Dad learned to fly these at the Naval Academy in 1950ish, one of the last to do so. He liked them okay but preferred jets like the T-33.
