The P-61E was designed to act as an escort
fighter for B-29s in raids over Japan. The crew
nacelle was sheared off at the wing top and a two
position cockpit covered with a bubble canopy
installed. I watched #2 die in a takeoff "accident"
- fortunately the pilot was fine. It was by far the
most beautiful of the P-61 variants, and my
favorite.
