Editor’s Note: The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was a United States Army Air Forces aircraft developed during the Second World War and produced until 1954. It was notable as the first U.S. aircraft designed specifically as a night fighter, equipped with onboard radar. In 1944, Hawk Model Company released a 1:48-scale wooden model kit based on the twin-engine aircraft.
