	Lockheed PBO Hudson, Lockheed R4O Super Electra, by Jack McKillop
		The Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra, built by the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation of Burbank, California, was a contemporary of the Douglas DC-2, designated R2D, q.v., in U.S. Navy (USN) service, but was a more advanced design with more powerful engines giving it a higher cruising speed.
		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.

		Mit der Lockheed 14 Super Electra wollte Lockheed einen Konkurrenzmuster zu der Douglas DC-3 herausbringen.
		Obwohl das Flugzeug wirklich gut geriet (gute Flugleistungen, Reichweite und Steuerbarkeit; sehr fortschrittliche Auslegung mit Integralflügeltanks, Verstellpropellern und Fowlerklappen), war es einfach zu klein.
		Eine Kapazität von 14 Passagieren (gegenüber 28 bei der DC-3) war ein großer wirtschaftlicher Nachteil; die ganze Electra-Baureihe war für Lockheed ein gigantisches finanzielles Disaster.

		Even the Super models had some limitations on range and speed but with the "G" version TWA was able to offer non-stop coast to coast flights and "usually" non-stop trans-Atlantic flights.
		Many of the design features of the Lockheed plane were put in at the request of TWA and specifically at the request of the then owner of TWA, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes.
		Typical of Lockheed in those days, the design was brilliant and it sold well to the military as a troop transport and radar picket plane, but was not a winner in the commercial market.

		In September 1939 Lockheed proposed to the British representatives a military development of the Lockheed 18 Lodestar, as a follow-up for Hudson.
		The Lodestar, the Super Electra and the Hudson were all powered by either the Wright R-1820 or the Pratt and Whitney R-1830, in the 1000hp to 1200hp class.
		This was perhaps felt the most by the crews who had to make the transatlantic ferry flights: Even with extra fuel tanks added to a total of 1100 gallons, it could cross the Atlantic only with an average 25-knot tailwind.

		While Lockheed Aircraft had been known since 1929 as designers and builders of aircraft that not only were state-of-the-art, but stretched that art in terms of performance, the company had been a money-loser from the beginning.
		The Model 14 Super Electra that appeared in 1937 suffered from the fact that while it was faster than the DC-3, its load-carrying capacity was half that of the DC-3, which made it economically non-competitive.
		What Lockheed proposed was turning their Model 14 airliner into a light bomber and general reconnaissance aircraft.

		After PSA painted the Electras in the pink scheme they decided that they needed a new image, and the Electras were later painted into this bright orange "Catch Our Smile" paint scheme, complete with the smile painted under the nose.
