Product Description
The N2S-2/3/4 Steersman is a military trainer aircraft used during World War II. This biplane, also known as Steersman Model 75, was introduced in 1934 and served the USAAF and USN as a primary trainer. When the Second World War ended, the Yellow Peril (as it's called because of its yellow paint scheme) was converted into a crop duster and sport plane. Some units were used for aerobatic demonstrations during airshows.
From the Manufacturer
The N2S is a biplane used to train carrier pilots at the start of World War II and was nicknamed "Yellow Peril" since it has a brightly colored paint job intended to alert everyone around that a novice pilot was flying it and because the plane itself has poorly designed gear which gave it a tendency to "ground loop." After world War II, the remaining stock of N2S's were transferred to the Naval Academy, remaining in service until 1960.
