Lockheed Lodestar and Hudson advert, 1939


Both were introduced about this time: the Hudson light bomber and coastal reconnaissance aircraft, built initially for the Royal Air Force, was first flown in September 1938, the Lodestar 18 passenger transport, used primarily by the US Army Air Corps, a year later.

NAC also flew Lodestars - http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/6596/national-airways-corporation-aircraft - and the RHZAF used Hudsons in WW2.

Fieldair flew Lodestars in NZ for Aerial Topdressing service.
