Here's a little more on both groups. Scroll down especially to page 83 for a look at the bazookas, err, rocket launchers, err CAP GUNS they used for night missions. :roll:

Gentlemen,

I'm quite convinced the photo is from the CBI.

The 426th and 427th were the only P-61 squadrons in theater. Evidence suggests that the Widows of both squadrons were equipped with improvised bomb racks for night intruder missions, and that the 427th also used 4.5 inch rocket launchers for missions.

Here's another pic, not sure if it's the same plane. Says it's at Langford.
