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 Hudson was an American-built light bomber and coastal reconnaissance aircraft built for the Royal Air Force shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. The Hudson was a military conversion of the Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra airliner, and was the first significant aircraft construction contract for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation; the initial RAF order for 200 Hudsons far surpassed any previous order the company had received. The Hudson served throughout the war, mainly with the Coastal Command but also in transport and training roles, as well as delivering agents into occupied France. The Hudson was also extensively used in tandem with the Royal Canadian Air Force's anti-submarine squadrons, and by the Royal Australian Air Force.
