Moon Light Serenade — sensuous and deadly — the Black Widow by travelforaircraft | The Northrop P-61 Black Widow seems to be predominantly engine — photo courtesy of Jayne Davis Northrop, one of the aviation companies which advanced aircraft design and capability in new directions produced a supreme night fighter in WW II. Radar was not small or lightweight in the day and nocturnal missions favored guns over rockets — so Northrop was tasked them with making a fighter out an aircraft the size of a medium bomber and they succeeded. Northrop's creation was the P-61 Black Widow which had range (1200 miles/1920km) — or loiter time as needed — along with a crew of three as well as two powerful engines (4200 hp/~32100kW). But it was the radar (and radar operator) along with 4 x 20mm cannon in a ventral installation in concert with 4 x 0.50" caliber machine guns in an upper turret (which could be used by the rear gunner as defensive armament) that were the fangs of this night time predator. But what made this aircraft nimble was...
