& PV-2 HARPOON
The Lockheed Ventura
was developed from the Lockheed
Lodestar transport as a replacement for the Lockheed Hudson
in RAF service. Initially used for bombing they proved unsuitable
for that role and were replaced by the Mosquito, the Ventura
being transferred to Coastal Command for patrol duties.
A version of the Ventura
was used by the US Navy as the PV-1
and by the USAAF as the B-34.
The PV-2 was a major
re-design of the PV-1 including a larger
wing and heavier payload. Unfortunately a problem with wing
wrinkling required a re-design which delayed entry into service.
Although popular with operators all outstanding orders were
cancelled at wars end and the type was largely retired shortly
after.
