The Lockheed Hudson was developed in 1938 from the Model 14 Super Electra airliner to meet a British Purchasing Commission requirement, and went on to equip RAF Coastal Command squadrons from the outbreak of the war. On 8 October 1939 a Hudson scored the type's first success by shooting down a Dornier Do 18 off Jutland, and by 1945 Hudsons had accounted for 25 U-boats. The Mk. IV and Mk. V were Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp powered versions, also flown by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Brazil.
