	Lockheed Hudson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lockheed Hudson was a light bomber and coastal reconnaissance aircraft built initially for the Royal Air Force shortly before the outbreak of World War II.
		The Hudson was the first significant aircraft construction contract for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation—the initial RAF order for 200 Hudsons far surpassed any previous order the company had received.
		Former Royal New Zealand Air Force Hudsons which saw World War II service in the South Pacific are on display at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum and Ferrymead Heritage Park in Christchurch and the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland.

	Lockheed Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lockheed Constellation was developed during World War II and served as both a civilian airliner and a military transport.
		Lockheed Corporation (originally Loughead) was an aerospace company originally founded in 1912 which merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 to form Lockheed Martin.
		Lockheed had hired underworld figure Yoshio Kodama as a consultant in order to influence Japanese airlines to purchase the L-1011 aircraft instead of the competing Douglas DC-10.

		Performance improved so that the Hudson Mk IV (similar to the A-28) was capable of 284 mph at 15,000 feet, and had a range of 2,160 miles at a cruising speed of 224 mph.
		Hudsons began to receive ASV radar in early 1940, and were assigned specifically to antisubmarine duty beginning in August of 1940 from Aldergrove, Northern Ireland.
		Hudsons of No. 161 Squadron were used in clandestine operations, landing in open fields of occupied Europe at night to deliver or retrieve agents or to provide weapons or information to partisans.

	Lockheed A-28 Hudson Mark III Serial Number NZ2007
		On the afternoon of December 15, 1941, Hudson NZ2007 was detailed to carry out a patrol over the Cook Strait region between the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
		As wireless silence was in force, it was taken to mean the weather was to bad to continue the patrol and the Hudson was coming home early.
		There was no evidence of a crash in the shallow bowl near the top of the cliff where the Hudson had first hit.

	Lockheed
		The Lockheed Company, one of the giants in the modern aerospace industry, began in 1912 when the Loughead brothers, Allan and Malcolm, formed the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company in San Francisco.
		It was a cantilever high-wing wooden monoplane with a streamlined monocoque fuselage built from two half-shells of plywood that had been shaped under pressure in a concrete mold.
		The 1937 Lockheed 14 Super Electra, designed to compete with the Douglas DC-2 and DC-3, failed as a commercial aircraft in the United States because it had too small a capacity.

	Australian Military Units
		The Hudson was developed by the Lockheed aircraft corporation from its successful Electra airliner to meet a British requirement for a navigation trainer.
		The Hudson was soon employed as a maritime patrol aircraft, and this became its main role in the RAF.
		In the South-West Pacific Area, Hudsons were replaced in their front-line roles by Bristol Beauforts from 1943 onwards, but the last examples of the type were not retired from RAAF service until 1948.

		The Hudson was originally built to the order of the British government as a military conversion of the L.14 transport.
		The final version was the Hudson VI (designated A-28 by the USAAF) which was convertible to troop transport or cargo carrier with the turret removed.
		The Hudson III was the first aeroplane to be fitted to carry the British-developed Mk I airborne lifeboat.

	Classic Airframes 1/48 Hudson Mk.I
		The Hudson started life as the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra and was designed to compete in the civil aviation world against the new series of Douglas DC-X aircraft.
		Two unique versions of the Hudson were also produced for the USAAF: the AT-18, which had a Martin dorsal turret in place of the Boulton Paul, which served as a aerial gunnery trainer; and the AT-18A, which had a US-styled bombardiers nose with the Norden bombsight installed for bombardier training.
		Another incident involved a RAAF Hudson that was discovered by a flight of six A6M2 Zeros, one of which was flown by ace Saburo Sakai.

	Lockheed Ventura for RAF
		The Lockheed Ventura was the result of a September 1939 proposal by Lockheed to the British Air Ministry for a military version of the Model 18 Lodestar twin-engined 15/18-passenger commercial transport.
		As compared to the Hudson, the dorsal turret was moved forward to improve the field of fire.
		It was 50 mph faster than the Hudson which preceded it and had a bombload of 2500 pounds instead of the former's 1000 pounds, but it was over 7500 pounds heavier.

		The Lockheed Hudson was a military version of the American Lockheed 14 Super Electra airliner and was ordered for the Royal Air Force in June 1938.
		When Hudsons reached obsolescence in the maritime role they were stripped of their armament and re-employed as transports.
		The RAF received just over 2000 Hudsons, 800 of which were purchased, the remainder supplied under American Lend-Lease contracts.

	Hudson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Hudson was one of those largely unsung types of aircraft which served the Allies faithfully and well during the war on most fronts and with little fanfare.
		As the war progressed an ever growing number of roles were found for the Hudson including transport (up to 14 troops could be carried if the turret and other items of equipment were removed), meteorological reconnaissance, VIP transport and air-sea rescue, for which role an under fuselage airborne lifeboat could be carried.
		As the main customer for the Hudson throughout its production life, the Royal Air Force's variants represented the major changes to the aircraft's specification, although models peculiar to the US military were also produced.

	Lockheed PBO Hudson, Lockheed R4O Super Electra, by Jack McKillop
		Lockheed had determined that an aircraft larger than the Model 10 Electra, designated R2O and R3O, q.v., in USN and U.S. Coast Guard service, was required to compete against the DC-2 and DC-3.
		The Model 14 was Lockheed's largest aircraft at the time and in an attempt to produce another plane, Lockheed began work on the Model 18 Lodestar which was designated R5O, q.v., in USN service.
		VP-82 began to transition from the PBO-1 to the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura, q.v., in September 1942 and the last PBO-1 were stricken from the inventory of VP-82 on 31 October 1942.

	Lockheed Hudson Mk 1 model airplane am271
		The first American-built airplane to be used operationally by the RAF during World War II, the Lockheed Hudson stemmed from urgent British requirements in early 1938 for a maritime patrol/navigational trainer aircraft.
		For example, a Hudson shot down a Dornier Do 18 flying-boat on October 8, 1939, the first RAF victory to be recorded in World War II by an American-built aircraft.
		The Hudson Mk 1 was powered by two 1,100-hp Wright GR-1820-G-102A radial piston engines, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 246 mph at 6,500 feet, service ceiling of 25,000 feet, and a range of 1,960 miles.

		Interest in Hudson aircraft was again shown in September as the meeting of Directors on the 4th, again discussed the operation of these aircraft and a motion directed the General Manager to obtain an option over the best example available under offer.
		One of the Hudsons, A16-112, was regarded as a new aircraft as it had only a few flying hours up and had earlier been sold to the Shell Oil Company but was available to the successful purchaser of the other five.
		The acquisition of the Hudson aircraft and their planned conversion put a strain on company finances as ways of raising additional Capital were discussed at the meeting as well as an approach to the company’s Bankers, The Rural Bank of N.S.W. for an extra £20,000 overdraft facility.

		Hudson’s eventually served with the RAF in most theatres, the RAAF in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, the RNZAF in the Pacific, the Canadian Air Force (mainly used for training), and the US Navy and USAAF.
		The instructions also provide a touch of (unintentional ?) humour where it can be learnt that the Hudson Mk I first flew in December 1838, and we are also told that armament consisted of 4 0.383 inch (!?) MG’s.
		The Mk III which I built carried the legend "Spirit of Lockheed-Vega Employees" and was a presentation aircraft, and the legend is printed in a sky colour (should this be the same colour as the Squadron code letters?) in two positions on each side of the fuselage.
