Crashed during a test flight from Floyd Bennett Field on March 29, 1932, killing Captain Yoshinori Nagoya. The J-3 was a special long-range conversion of the CH-400 and this aircraft appears to have originally been c/n 632. The fuselage was deepened to provide more space for fuel. Nagoya was planning a non-stop flight from across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Tokyo. The rest of the crew for the proposed Pacific flight were not on the test flight.
