If a plane had a tail that was YV-3???. What country is it registered
in? Is there a site that shows which country gets what leading tail
characters, N=US, F=France, C=Canada...etc.

Wikipedia has a list of country codes for just about any official code
referring to a country at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_codes

The codes include aircraft registration codes, airport prefex codes,
international direct dialing code, ITU maritime codes, and more.

This page also has pointers to specific codes. For aircraft identifier
prefixes you can go directly to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_registration

The ICAO will SELL you online access to their data base for US $300 per
year.
