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 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.

Since 1999, David Doyle has written over 200 published books, and the range of topics has expanded to include warships and combat aircraft. These books have ranged in size from 56 pages to large works approaching 1,000 pages.
