The Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, more commonly known as the Lockheed 12 or L12, is an eightseat, sixpassenger allmetal twinengine transport aircraft of the late 1930s designed for use by small airlines, companies, and wealthy private individuals.

Two aircraft ordered by British Airways Ltd. were intended for covert military espionage. Sidney Cotton modified these aircraft for aerial photography and, while pretending to conduct ordinary civil flights, used them to overfly and photograph many German and Italian military installations
during the months preceding World War II.
