At the onset of World War II, American air units were poorly equipped for night fighting. Using radar technology borrowed from the British and developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Northrop Company built a fighter that could function in total darkness -- the P-61B Black Widow. By mid-1944, the Black Widow had become the Army Air Force's standard night fighter. Image Size: 16.5 x 14 in. Overall Size: 18.5 x 16 in. Unframed. (B14294) See More
