The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was the first U.S. aircraft designed specifically as a night fighter and this P-61B was credited with the last two aerial kills of World War II. "Lady in the Dark" was the most famous Black Widow of the 548th Night Fighter Squadron. Her nose art included a cat with a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, which was the emblem of the 548th and the lady herself - who made quite a striking contrast against the fighter's black paint.

The P-61B flew its missions after dark but it was often launched at sunset. The colors on the horizon, on the plane and in the moon make the image majestic and mysterious.
