Among the thousands of North American SNJ trainers produced during World War II,
SN = Scout Trainer
J = North American
there were a number modified for aircraft carrier operations. I was reminded of this in the navy thread, where we discussed the coal-fired, side paddle wheel-propelled training aircraft carriers USS Sable and USS Wolverine, which trained aviators in carrier operations on the Great Lakes. Here are a couple of photos of those SNJs -- one from 1943 and one painted in postwar markings.
