P-61 Black Widow: Northrop Night Fighter in WWII

By David Doyle

The striking P-61 Black Widow was the first purpose-built American night fighter. Designed by Jack Northrop and Vladimir Pavlecka, the P-61's menacing appearance was matched by the plane's advanced technology and fearsome weaponry. Interestingly, the Widow is credited with the final aerial kill of the war. Black-and-white photos and vintage color photos Four-color profiles Detailed line drawings.

Part of the Legends of Warfare: Aviation series, this book--by prolific author David Doyle--tells the story of the Black Widow from the experimental XP-61 on through the final production variant, the F-15A.

Customer Reviews

Great book for modelers! Many detailed color pictures!

This is a great book for the detail oriented modeler. Page after page of very detailed color pics. I find the sites overview to be less than accurate, it doesn't do this book justice. $17 is a very fair price. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
