Summary edit

Description

A U.S. Navy Naval Aircraft Nactory N3N-1 Canary trainer on a seaplane ramp at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida (USA). The plane has panels removed for maintenance just aft of the engine.

Note: This N3N is BuNo 0265. This airplane is the only N3N-2 that was ever built. It was made to help correct some flight characteristics by raising the location of the horizontal elevator in relation to the lower wing. This is 0265 with a -1 rudder fitted as the -2 rudder was a different design all together. You can see the differences in tail design by looking at any picture of the -1 version.
