Вот тут клевещут, что как раз с осени 1941 появились:
When Lend-Lease went into effect in mid-1941 , further Hudson production came under U.S. funded Lend-Lease contracts. As part of the U.S. buildup, some of these aircraft were diverted for U.S. use and Hudsons found their way into the Army Air Force, with 20 diverted to the Navy. The PBO-1 s were flown east from Burbank, Calif., to NAS Norfolk, Virginia, in late October/early November 1941. All 20 were assigned to VP-82. As training progressed, squadron operations moved north, finally reaching Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada. With U.S. entry into the war, VP-82's main thrust was against the German submarines which I were wreaking havoc on merchant shipping across the Atlantic. In March I 1942, VP-82's efforts were marked by success on the 3rd, a VP-82 Hudson crew accounted for the first German submarine sunk by a U.S. airplane.

Ensign William Tepuni, USNR, piloting a Lockheed Hudson, PBO, of VP-82 based at Argentia, Newfoundland, attacked and sank the U-656 southwest of Newfoundland—the first German submarine sunk by U.S. forces in World War II.
