Description
The P-61 was the heaviest and most modern night fighter of its time and was equipped with a powerful arsenal of weapons. It was the first American aircraft to be specially designed as a night fighter and was given the nickname Black Widow because it was painted totally black. The initial production series P-61 A had a fully movable MG turret behind the cockpit equipped with four .50 cal. MGs. There were four 20 mm cannon mounted in the ventral position. Due to problems with the MG turret it was omitted from the P-61 B, which received numerous fundamental improvements. The maximum speed was almost 600 km/h. Because of the late appearance of the P-61, its main sphere of operations was the Pacific however it also scored some considerable successes in the final months of the European theatre of war.
