The
Lockheed 12 (L.12) followed the L.10 Electra of 1934, as a scaled down
version for use in feeder services to and from smaller markets. Known
as the Electra Junior, the type first flew on 27 June 1936, and sold
almost as well as the L.10. 130 were built, mostly delivered to
airlines. A small number of military versions were also built as the
C-40 (UC-40), JO-1, JO-2 and XJO-3.
