The heavily-armed Black Widow was the USA's first aircraft specifically designed as a night-fighter. It carried radar equipment which enabled its 2- or 3- man crew to locate enemy aircraft in darkness and fly into attack position.

The XP-61 was flight-tested in 1942 and delivery of production aircraft began in late 1943. The first operational intercept mission as a night fighter in Europe was on July 3, 1944, and it was also used as a night intruder. In the Pacific, a Black Widow claimed its first "kill" on July 6, 1944. As P-61s became available, they replaced interim Douglas P-70s in all USAAF night fighter squadrons. Northrop built approximately 700 P-61s. |Forty one were -C variants made in the summer of 1945 which had greater speed and could a higher ceiling. Thirty six additional Black Widows were made in 1946 as F-15A unarmed photo-reconnaissance aircraft. The Black Widow by ASM is a real work of art, and the engineers have designed it to be ready for gas or electric motors.
