Edicts on training NAGs became effective in 1930, and the UN raised many training NAGs, but named these NAGs after location of their home base. In 1944 the UN gave three-digit numbers to operational NAGs, and [eft other NAGs, those for training and airfield keeping, unchanged. In the last days they ordered training NAGs to join in operation, namely Kamikaze attacks by young trainees, but basically an NAG named after a location at the end of war, was a training NAG. This aircraft was a typical trainer variant used at Kasumigaura around 1943 and is in colours often seen at this school, including the lower surface colour of Trainer Orange.
