A good old airplane. There are still a lot of them flying. It was also used
as a bomber trainer.

The British called it the Hudson, I believe.


And our air force called it the C-45. My dad used to carry around cadets in one
for orientation flights back when he was teaching ROTC back in the late 1950s.

Like Orval said, the Hudson was the RAF version of the larger Lockheed
Lodestar. Besides the C-45 Expeditor, the USAAF flew the glass-nosed
AT-11 variant of the Beech 18 for multi engine and bombardier training
