P-611A Black Widow - Since Air Forces of various countries started paying attention to night bombing their bombing became more effective than ever. To fight against night bombing a series of night fighters were put into use. The Americans started their night fighter program in 1940. The Army used the P-70 Havoc and Beaufighter to fight with the Japanese until the first 45 P-61 Black Widow were in active service in October of 1943. The first 37 P-61 were installed with a four gun turret on the back of the fuselage and deleted on the following aircraft. The first unit to take the P-61A into combat was the 6th Night-Fighter Squadron in Hawaii. The Black Widow was soon replaced by the P-70s and P-38J in May of 1944.
