P-61 BLACK WIDOW

®
The Northrop P-61 was shrouded in secrecy
from its inception. Known as the “Black Widow”,
it was the first U.S. aircraft designed exclusively
as a night fighter. Powered by Pratt and Whitney
engines, the P-61 could reach a top speed of
over 370 miles an hour. The P-61 was the most
advanced night fighter of its day, possessing
incredible capabilities of destruction. Four .50
caliber machine guns were mounted to the
dorsal turret and four 20 millimeter cannons in
the ventral location on the fuselage pod. The
four .50 caliber machine guns were designed
initially as defensive weapons and could
be controlled by any one of the three crew
members, pilot, rear gunner, or radar operator
who sat in the extreme rear of the fuselage
pod. The P-61Bs were painted glossy black and
they were almost invisible in the night skies.
The premier ace of World War II night fighter
fame was Major Carrol C. Smith of the 418th
Night Fighter Squadron Stationed in the Pacific.
On December 29th, 1944, Major Smith and his
radar operator, Lt. Philip Porter, accomplished
a feat unheard of in night fighter history as they
intercepted and destroyed four Japanese aircraft
in a single night with their Times-A-Wastin’ P-61.
Le plus grand secret fut gardé au propos du Northrop P-61 jusqu’à son lancement. Connu aussi sous lepseudonyme de “ Black Widow ”, il fut le premieravion des États-Unis conçu exclusivement commeun chasseur nocturne. Propulsé par des moteursPratt et Whitney, le P-61 pouvait atteindre desvitesses de pointe de plus de 595 km/h (370 mi/h).Le P-61 était le chasseur nocturne le plus avancé deson temps, possédant des capacités de destructionincroyables. Quatre mitrailleuses de calibre 0.50étaient montées sur sa tourelle dorsale et quatrecanons de 20 millimètres en position ventrale dela nacelle du fuselage. Les quatre mitrailleuses
de
calibre 0.50 furent conçues à l’origine commearmes défensives et pouvaient être commandéespar un ou l’autre des trois membres d’équipage,soient le pilote, l’artilleur arrière ou l’opérateur radarqui était assis à l’extrême arrière de la nacelle defuselage. Les P-61B étaient peints en noir lustré etils étaient presque invisibles dans les cieux sombres.Le premier as pilote de chasseur nocturne de laseconde guerre mondiale fut le Major Carrol C.Smith du 418ème escadron de nuit stationné dansle pacifique. Le 29 décembre 1944, le Major Smithet son opérateur radar, le Lt. Philip Porter, ontaccompli un exploit méconnu lorsque leur chasseurnocturne a intercepté et détruit quatre avionsjaponais en une seule nuit avec leur P-61 plutôt lents.El Northrop P-61 fue un secreto desde su creación. Conocido como la "Viuda Negra", fue el primer avión de EE.UU. diseñado exclusivamente como un avión de combate nocturno. Impulsado por motores Pratt y Whitney, el P-61 podía alcanzar una velocidad máxima de más de 370 millas por hora. El P-61 fue el caza nocturno más avanzado de su época, y poseía capacidades increíbles de destrucción. Cuatro ametralladoras calibre .50 estaban montadas en la torreta dorsal y cuatro cañones de 20 milímetros en la ubicación ventral de la vaina del fuselaje. Las cuatro ametralladoras de calibre .50 fueron diseñadas inicialmente como armas defensivas y podían ser controladas por cualquiera de los tres miembros de la tripulación, el piloto, el artillero de cola, o el operador de radar que se sentaba en la parte posterior extrema de la vaina del fuselaje. El P-61B estaba pintado en negro brillante y era casi invisible en los cielos nocturnos.El as principal de la fama de cazas nocturnos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue el comandante Carroll C. Smith, del Escuadrón de Combate Nocturno 418estacionado en el Pacífico. El 29 de diciembre de 1944,
el comandante Smith y su operador de radar, el teniente Philip Porter, lograron una hazaña sin precedentesen la historia de los combates nocturnos, ya queinterceptaron y destruyeron cuatro aviones japoneses
en la misma noche con su Times-A-Wastin’ P-61.
