P-61B
'Black Widow' Recovery and
Restoration Project
There are four P-61 night
fighters in existence, worldwide.
Three are on static display and sadly incapable of flight.
The fourth 'Black Widow' is the subject of an epic
recovery and restoration project conceived and
led by Eugene "Pappy" Strine, co-founder of
the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum.
The journey began at a wartime
crash site
on a jungle-cloaked mountaintop in
New
Guinea, over two decades ago.
It will end when this rare P-61 does
what its three sisters can no longer
do...
THIS 'BLACK WIDOW' WILL FLY!

Join us as we
continue this ongoing journey. Follow along as we enter...
2007 WWII Night Fighters Reunion at MAAM

painting by Dr. Philip Alexander.
You can see this and other beautiful
paintings of the P-61, and hundreds of other subjects,
