Lockheed Hudson I at Burbank, California
Here we see an almost complete Lockheed Hudson I (identified by the spinner on the propeller) at Lockheed's Burbank, California facility. Note the massive gap just in front of the tail, ready for the aircraft's upper turret, and the hidden RAF markings.

Covers the anti-submarine and anti-shipping uses of the Hudson, as well at its role in Air-Sea Rescue and special operations. The text is supported by a good collection of first hand accounts.
