Of course the Lockheed Orion was also based on a commercial airliner,
the Electra L188. This was the first commercial turboprop airliner.
Previous commercial twin combustion engine Electras, the model 10,  also
had military service as patrol planes. A lengthened version of the
original Electra was the Lodestar.

My first flight ever was in an Electra in commercial service in 1943.
