Pilot of P-61 to speak at WACO
On Thursday, Feb. 18, World War II veteran Cliff Johnson will speak as a part of the WACO Aviation Lecture Series. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Johnson will share his experiences as a pilot of the P-61 Black Widow Night Fighter. Painted completely black, this plane was one of the first aircraft designed specifically for night fighting and used an effective form of then recently developed radar. Come hear about the unique mission of the Black Widow and how the single pilot and three air crewman coordinated attacks on the enemy bombers by flying at night.
