Description
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.
- Black-and-white photos and vintage color photos
- Four-color profiles
- Detailed line drawings.
Part of the Legends of Warfare: Aviation series, this book--by prolific author David Doyle--tells the story of the Black Widow from the experimental XP-61 on through the final production variant, the F-15A.
