A Semi-Scale ARF R/C Model of the USA's First Specifically-Designed Night Fighter

History of the P-61 Black Widow

The heavily-armed Black Widow was the USA's first

aircraft specifically designed as a night-fighter. In the

nose, it carried radar equipment which enabled its crew

of two or three to locate enemy aircraft in total darkness

and fly into proper position to attack.

The XP-61 was flight-tested in 1942 and delivery of

production aircraft began in late 1943. The P-61 flew

its first operational intercept mission as a night fighter

in Europe on July 3, 1944, and later was also used as

a night intruder over enemy territory. In the Pacific, a

Black Widow claimed its first "kill" on the night of July 6,

1944. As P-61s became available, they replaced interim

Douglas P-70s in all USAAF night fighter squadrons.

During WW II, Northrop built approximately 700 P-61s;

41 of these were -C variants manufactured in the summer

of 1945 offering greater speed and capable of operating

at higher altitude. Northrop fabricated 36 more Black

Widows in 1946 as F-15A unarmed photo-reconnaissance

aircraft.
