Більше інформації:

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was a groundbreaking aircraft in the history of aviation. It was the first U.S. warplane designed specifically as a night fighter, equipped with an advanced airborne radar system that enabled it to locate and destroy enemy aircraft in darkness and bad weather. The P-61 had a distinctive twin-boom design, with a crew of three: pilot, radar operator and gunner. It was armed with four 20 mm cannons in the lower fuselage and four .50 caliber machine guns in a remote-controlled turret on top of the center section.
The P-61 saw combat in all theaters of World War II, from Europe to the Pacific, where it proved to be a formidable adversary for Japanese bombers and fighters. The P-61 also performed other missions, such as ground attack, reconnaissance and electronic warfare. The P-61 was retired from service in 1954, after a brief postwar career as an all-weather interceptor. The P-61 Black Widow was a remarkable achievement of engineering and innovation, and a testament to the vision and skill of Northrop Corporation.
