L-188 and P-3
Why was the Lockheed Electra L-188 selected by the U. S. Navy for its
Orion P-3? What modifications did it undergo to become the Orion P-3? Would there be any federal documents from that era that might be relevant? The contract was awarded in 1959. The first delivery was in 1962. Thanks. Mike |

Pechs1 always has very pleasant thing to say about us (ugh!) but another
source is David Reade's "The Age of Orion" and the first chapter will amplify some of the data in "damon's" URL. I was the first P3C PPC in the Navy as CO of VP-56 at the Fleet Introduction and while it was centuries ago (it seems) the data is good and pretty much the way I remember it.
