Summary
| Description | A U.S. Northrop P-61C Black Widow night fighter used for tests of the U.S. Navy Gorgon IV missile (designated KUM-1, PTV-2, and PTV-N-2). The U.S. Navy began the Gorgon IV programme in May 1945. The missile, contracted to Martin, was originally planned to be a ramjet-powered air-to-surface missile with an active radar seeker. The programme was terminated in April 1949. The P-61C carries its USAAF serial 43-8336. Due to the style of the U.S. national insignia, the picture was taken before 1947. The U.S. Marine Corps acquired 12 P-61As in 1946 as trainers, which were designated F2T-1 and carries U.S. Navy serials (BuNos 52750-52761). |
