HUDSON BOMBERS
FIRST FLIGHT IN NEW ZEALAND. VALUABLE DEFENCE ASSET. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 21. The fastest and most modern warplane in New Zealand, the first of the Lockheed Hudson bombers newly delivered from the United Stales for the Royal New Zealand Air Force, was flown for the first time in the Dominion this week. Already famous as the natural enemy of U-boat and prowling surface raider, two types of enemy craft which have been heavily hit by Hudsons of the Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force, the Hudson is a newcomer to the Dominion. Ils long range, good speed and heavy offensive power make it an eminently suitable craft for use from a remote island Country such as New Zealand and the presence in the Dominion of such machines is a valuable asset in wartime.
