  German Nightfighters..with antennas & Schrage Music weapon installation - Topic Powered by eve community
Nightfighter weapons which were used to attack unsuspecting enemy bomber from underneath.
At the same time the bomber crew could not see the nightfighter against the dark ground, nor defend itself: The belly turrets of British bombers had been removed because of their limited effectiveness and to reduce drag.
The nightfighter usually aimed for the fuel tanks, not for the fuselage, because of the risk that exploding bombs would damage the attacker.

 German Nightfighter Aces - by JERRY SCUTTS
When the Luftwaffe entered the war, its nightfighter force was virtually non-existent thanks to its leader, Reichmarschall Hermann G246ring, boasting that bombs would never fall on Germany.
By mide-1940 his folly was evident; the first nightfighter wing was hastily formed with Bf 110s.
Fighting a tough enemy, as well as a lower priority in aircraft and personnel procurement than it merited, the force never shrank from its task.

This concept was regarded as an aberration by the authorities, but the performance of the Mosquito silenced the critics.
At night it operated with impunity over Germany to the end of the war, because the Luftwaffe never had a nightfighter fast enough to intercept it.
The Mosquito also served with distinction as fighter-bomber, recconaissance aircraft and nightfighter.

 Northrop P-61 Black Widow - Nightfighter
Because early radars were so heavy and because the british requirement called for a nightfighter that could stay airborne for a long time, only a twin-engined aircraft would work.
The first P-61 kill was recorded on June 30, 1944 (some sources say July 6), when a Black Widow of the 6th NFS downed a 'Betty" bomber over the Pacific.
In Europe, the crews continued training while debates raged over the nightfighting virtues of the Black Widow, the Mosquito, and the Bristol Beaufighter.

The 'Mossie' was soon defending raids on Britain's Cathedral cities and became an integral part of the country's night defences.
Its airborne radar gave it the ability to 'see' the enemy at night, and its speed and devastating fire power made it the finest nightfighter deployed by any side during WWII.
This book examines the infamous Mosquito, the nightfighter that was used by many leading RAF, Commonwealth and American aces.

 Uncle Ted's ADC Collection: Imperial Japan
In almost all cases, Japanese nightfighters were variants on existing aircraft - medium fighters or recon aircraft - their goal was to take an existing platform that could carry heavy armament at good speed.
And their opposition was tougher than the British or Germans faced - the Japanese tried to should down the powerful B-29 bomber.
The nightfighter version was not quite in production when the war ended, but I included it for interest.

 BatHead
Despite this unfortunate introduction into military service, bat insignia soon came to dominate emblems carried by nightfighter, patrol, and observation squadrons because of bats' remarkable ability to navigate in the dark.
Indeed, bats have been a popular design for nightfighter and reconnaissance squadrons in the air forces of the United States, England, and Canada since World War Two.
For example, during WWII, the nose-art of a 6th Nightfighter Squadron Northrop P-61A-1 Black Widow depicted a large bat wearing boxing gloves on its hind feet (named "Jap Batty"), whereas the nose of another P-61A of the 548th Nightfighter Squadron was graced with a painting of Batgirl (named "Bat outa Hell"; Davis and Menard, 1990).
