Re: Pensacola training station 1938-41
May have found my answer! Apparently VN3-D8 was the scout bomber training squadron. In the period I need information (1938-39) it operated Vought Corsairs in various configurations and models (O3U/SU, and SBU). These aircraft seem to indicate the squadron was used to give further flight training to those who survived the elimination period, and then move them on to advanced/operational training?

Re: Pensacola training station 1938-41
Not quite---from scout training in VN-3 the trainees would go to VN-4 and learn how to handle flying boats such as the Martin PM and catapult scouts such as the Berliner-Joyce OJ. Then it was on to fighters, such as the F4B, in VN-5. Thus, they emerged from Pensacola trained on all types of Navy aircraft.
