{"product_id":"p-61-black-widow-units-of-warren-thompson-9781855327252","title":"P-61 Black Widow Units of World War 2","description":"The first aircraft to be purposely designed as a radar-equipped nightfigher, Northrop's P-61 Black Widow was heavily influenced by early RAF combat experience with radar-equipped aircraft in the years 1940\/41 of World War II (1939-1945). Built essentially around the bulky Radiation Laboratory SCR-720 radar, which was mounted in the aircraft's nose, the P-61 proved to be the largest fighter ever produced for frontline service by the USAAF. Twin-engined and twin-boomed, the Black Widow was armed with a dorsal barbette of four 0.50-in Browning machine guns and two ventrally-mounted 20 mm cannon. This volume features all the frontline users of the mighty P-61, and includes many first-hand accounts from pilots and gunners who saw action in the Pacific, Mediterranean and Western Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Warren Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855327252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855327252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.79h x 7.29w x 0.28d","brand":"Warren Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088919245055,"sku":"9781855327252","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b2fed9f-8c98-4463-9862-bc631c261711.jpg?v=1769107278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/p-61-black-widow-units-of-warren-thompson-9781855327252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
