Navy R-50 Army C-59/C-60 Lockheed "Lodestar" - World War II USA transport plane
Original aeroplane recognition poster (1942)
63x47cm
A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view.
The Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar was a passenger transport aircraft that served in World War II. It was built originally as a Lockheed Model 18, a 17-passenger civilian airliner. In late 1941, when America entered the war, all "Lodestars" flying with the United States military were former airliners conscripted into service. These aircraft received different numerical designations depending on engine type.
In mid-1942, Lockheed introduced this C-60 variant of the "Lodestar". Designed specifically for military use, the C-60 was used as a troop and cargo carrier, flew anti-submarine patrols, and performed Search and Rescue duties. After the war, most Lodestars were converted back to civilian use.
