P-61 Black Widow Used Like a Daylight Attack Plane During the Battle of the Bulge

As part of my WW2 planes collection, my turn to pay hommage to that fine P-61 Black Widow by Dean Crawford. Here is a U.S. 425th Night Fighter Squadron (NFS) P-61 flying ground attack against locomotives and trucks over the town of Bastogne, Belgium, by December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge!

Thanks Rupert!

As I didn't know what livery those planes might have been fitted with during the Battle of the Bulge, I eventually decided that, as the command hastily decided to use them like daytime planes, they likely had no time to change their night camouflage and used them like. I hope that's true :):)

Thanks Larry and Peer

I hope talentuous freeware creators will keep fueling my WW2 gallery :cool:

 

Larry: That one, I struggle to catch it. I was focusing on screen capturing a level ground attack, as I said myself such passes ended by taking back some altitude, and a turn. And I got it!
