P-61 Black Widow In Action
Stock number: 6800-10226 (Soft Cover)
Price: $18.95
Squadron Signal Publications has released an all new P-61 Black Widow In Action. It is related to the earlier publication in title only. Author David Doyle has produced a very nice photographic study of the famous Black Widow. It is in the current standard "In Action" format and has 80 pages. This includes 24 pages with color photos. The balance of the photos are well reproduced black and white images. 8 pages have line drawings illustrating various technical aspects of the aircraft. The book also has 7 color paintings which provide representative examples of markings utilized on the P-61, two of which grace the front and rear covers of the book respectively.
Photographic coverage is very strong on the technical features of the aircraft. It is much stronger in this respect compared to Squadron's earlier title. Photos reveal pilot's cockpit, gunner's position, radar operator's station, G.E. A4 top turret, 20mm cannon bay, radar unit, and more. There are also some good aerial underside views of the aircraft which show seldom seen aspects of the Black Widow.
I like this book. It will be a nice inexpensive reference for anyone with an interest in the P-61 series, and especially modellers working on the new Hobby Boss 1/32 or Great Wall 1/48 Widows.
