The complete history of the  P-61 "Black Widow," one of the most advanced and most sinister-looking fighter aircraft of the Second World War.  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 photosFour-color profilesDetailed 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.
