Northrop XP-61F Black Widow

The Northrop XP-61F was the designation given to a planned two-seat version of the Black Widow night-fighter. A single P-61C was delivered to the Army on 10 August 1945 then returned to Northrop to be converted to the new design, but little work appears to have been done before the programme was cancelled on 24 October 1945. The aircraft was probably converted back to its original configuration before being put into storage.
