Artist's Description
The P-61 Black Widow was designed as a night fighter. Equipped with a state of the art radar, 4 machine guns and 4 cannon, the Black Widow was as deadly as its namesake.

Realizing her had been spotted, the pilot of the unknown aircraft attempted countermeasures and evasive maneuvers but to no avail.
