Northrop P-61 Black Widow & F-15 Reporter, MBI

Τhis revised profile takes an in depth look at Northrop's attractive and effective nightfighter. Originally conceived in response to an approach from the British Purchasing Commission the type was ultimately to see service only with the US military and civil research agencies. The book follows the development of the P-61 through its prototype stages, with individual chapters on the P-61A & P-61B plus a look at the P-61C, D and experimental versions.

A summary of combat usage is also included, where the book scores over the original is in the expanded treatment given to the development aircraft, the Northrop F-15 Reporter and in the 7 pages of close-up colour photography of the Wright-Patterson P-61C and the Beijing Aeronautical Institute's unique P-61B.
