Description

The P-61 "Black Widow" was one of the most advanced and most sinister-looking fighter aircraft of the Second World War. The striking P-61 Black Widow was the first purpose-built American night fighter. Designed by Jack Northrop and Vladimir Pavlecka, the P-61's menacing appearance was matched by the plane's advanced technology and fearsome weaponry. Interestingly, the Widow is credited with the final aerial kill of the war. This book tells the story of the Black Widow from the experimental XP-61 on through the final production variant, the F-15A, through black-and-white photos and vintage colour photos, augmented by four colour profiles and detailed line drawings. AUTHOR: Since 1999, David Doyle has written over 200 published books, and the range of topics has expanded to include warships and combat aircraft. These books have ranged in size from 56 pages to large works approaching 1,000 pages. SELLING POINTS: . The P-61 Black Widow was very heavily armed, with four cannons and four heavy machine guns . There are only a handful of surviving examples today, with just one located outside the northeastern US . A great gift for aero enthusiasts and modelers young and old 230 colour and b/w photographs
