P-61A Black Widow – a brief history

The P-61A Black Widow is an American twin-engine night fighter from World War II. It was designed by Northrop and entered service in the United States Army Air Forces at the end of 1943. P-61s took part in combat operations in the Pacific and Europe, hunting down enemy aircraft at night, thanks to their advanced-for-their-time onboard radar. Their production and active service spanned the years 1943–1945.
