Juan,
The model number 3NM is actually a bastardized version of a
Canadian military designation. A couple of hundred Beechcraft D-18S
were bought by the RCAF in the post-war years as Expeditor Mk-3N,
Mk-3NM and Mk-3TM. When civilianized, most seem to have acquired
the Beechcraft 3NM moniker. Serial number prefix was CA- (standard
civil D-18S was just A-).
P.S. I am disappointed that Mike Gammon did not know this ;)
