The Lockheed Hudson was the first American aircraft to be used
operationally by the RAF during World War II. It was designed
to meet a British requirement for a maritime patrol/navigational trainer aircraft. The first 200 aircraft
arrived in England in February 1939, with about 1500 total
procured before introduction of the Lend-Lease program. In
USAAF service the various versions served as troop transports,
bomber crew trainers, photo-reconnaissance aircraft,
anti-submarine patrol aircraft, trainers for air gunners, and
as a target tug. Twenty examples were used by the U.S. Navy as
maritime patrol aircraft under the designation PBO-1. In all,
over 2500 Hudsons were built, and many remained in service in
a secondary role until the end of the war.
