An outstanding aircraft. Made the Japanese thinnk twice when they showed up in theater. They made a night fighter/recon version of it too the P-61 I think. All black with an extended nose.
Goddammit! When I saw the pic, I was gonna post “an outstanding aircraft” but fuckin’ Fixer beat me to it! Once they solved a compressibility problem, those things rocked!
I like round motors, air-cooled, easy to work on, and will run with half the cylinders shot away, don’tcha know, so my favorites are all naval aircraft except for the P-47, R4D, and the DeHavilland Beaver.
