Many Electras and their design descendants (the Model 12 ElectraJunior and Model 14 Super Electra) were pressed into military serviceduring World War II, for instance the USAAF's C-36. By the end of thewar, the Electra design was obsolete, although many smaller airlinesand charter services continued to operate Electras into the 1970s.
