Historical Application

The Northrop P-61B “Black Widow” was a heavy, twin-engine night fighter used by the USA during World War II. As the first American aircraft specifically designed for night combat operations, it was equipped with radar and served mainly in the Pacific and Europe between 1944-1945. One notable episode was the P-61B’s involvement in the last aerial battles of the war, where it effectively engaged and eliminated enemy bombers and reconnaissance aircraft during night missions.
