    Lockheed Model 14. Supplied to the RAF as the "Hudson," known within the AAF as an A-28, A-29 or AT-18.
  • SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
    Gerry Asher Thank you very much for your information! Based on what you have given us, we were able to discover that the aircraft in the photograph is a Lockheed AT-18A-LO Hudson (L-414), serial number 42-055552. While most of the A-28 and A-29 models were split between the RAF and the USAF, based on our information, this is a model AT-18A which seems to have been used exclusively by the USAF for navigational training. Only 83 of this aircraft model were ever built.

Cotton Thull [?] Ghaut G.I.P.Ry.

    Could the title be 'Cotton Thull'? I'm doing some research on Portuguese Goa and have found many mentions of a material called 'tanã', which appears to a sort of cheap cotton made near Bombay.

    Paul Castro Hi there and thank you for your interest! I believe I might be able to clarify this for you. Thull Ghat is an archaic spelling of Thal Ghat, more modernly known as Kasara Ghat - a mountain incline/slope in the Western Ghats, on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. What the photograph depicts is a cotton storage facility, located at this Ghat. As for 'tanã', I'm not completely certain, but I believe the word might stem from an area near Mumbai which was known for its cotton growing, in the 1870s. Thane is a district in present-day Mumbai, which was once known (and spelled) as both Thana and Tanna. In the book "In Quest of Coolies" by James L. A. Hope, printed in 1872 - there is a mention of how cotton-growing in Tanna was "showing signs of being a great business in the future".
