The A-29A-LO differed from the A-29 in having a convertible interior
for troop transport. However, it retained the armament (as well
as the designation) of the Hudson IIIA. There were 184 aircraft
of this type built. Both USAAF and RAF serials were assigned as follows:
-
BW767 41-23629 c/n 414-6446
-
FH367/FH466 41-37168/37267 c/n 414-6657/6756
- FK731/FK813 42-47287/42-47369 c/n 414-7507/7589
The RAF took delivery of 289 of these aircraft, the RAAF received 65 (serials up to A16-247), the RNZAF received 23 (including BW767), the RCAF got four, and the Chinese Air Force received three.
24 of the A-29-LOs which had been retained by the USAAF were converted into photographic survey aircraft under the designation A-29B-LO.
