Since each country's air force began to pay attention to night bombing, the bombing has become more effective than ever. A series of night fighter planes were commissioned to fight against night bombing. The Americans started the night fighter aircraft program in 1940. The Army used the P-70 Havoc and Beaufighter to fight the Japanese until the first 45 P-61 Black Widow was put into active service in October 1943. However, both the P-61A and the P-61B were felt that there was a lack of speed and operational service ceiling. Two new, stronger Pratt & Whitney R-2800C engines were applied to improve performance. With this increase in power, the maximum speed and altitude were increased to 430 miles/hour and 30,000 fit. Another change in P-61C was large-beam propellers and a special "hunter brakes" that allowed the P-61C to rotate more tightly and prevent the overcoming targets.

The Northrop P-61 was a mid-wing plane with two rods, adapted to work on land bases, with three-seat, double-engine, retracted landing sets. The prototype flight took place in May 1942. The plane was completely made of metal, initially from magnesium alloys, and then from a duralum. The bodies with half shell beams were strengthened with metal frames. The crew in the middle body contained a three -person crew. The pilot was sitting on the front, then the deck shooter and finally the radar operator was coming. In versions without turns, the radar operator was moved to the artillery's cockpit and there was an extra seat on the back. The entire cabin was armored. The P-61 took a SCR-720 air radar with a range of 10 km, placed on the nose of the body and connected to an IFF device to identify a stranger to itself. Radar indicators were taken from the cockpit of the radar operator sitting behind the body. The armament consisted of four 12.7 mm machine guns mounted on a remote -controlled tare not found in all versions of the aircraft and four 20 mm wholesale mounted on the body. Each crew member had an opinion; The pilot used it in typical war attacks when the enemy's flight direction coincided with the flight of his own plane. In other cases, the fire was fired by the deck artillery, the shooting tower operator. If it was necessary to make a defense against an attack that could come from behind, the shooter's tasks and the operation of the shooting tower were undertaken by the radar operator. In addition, some of the machines operating mainly in Europe carried out attacks using bombs, unprotected rockets or napalm tanks.
