The Lockheed P2V Neptune is largely a forgotten aircraft, as it arrived too late for World War II and was eventually overshadowed by its replacement, the Lockheed P3 Orion. In fact, through the 1950s and into the 1960s, the Neptune served in large numbers as the aerial backbone of the West's defense of the seas.
