今天,当人们谈到布局奇特的B-2型飞翼式轰炸机时,就不由得联想到早在20年代由杰克·诺斯洛普(Jack Northrop)以他的名字创办的诺斯洛普飞机公司。该公司从1929年起除致力于一系列各种飞翼飞机的研制外,也制造过不少其它实用的飞机。如在第二次世界大战中享有盛名的P-61型“黑寡妇”夜间战斗机以及后来的F-5系列轻型喷气战斗机等等,均为人熟知。但诺斯洛普公司研制的一种在美国未被正式采用却参加了中国抗日战争的2EC轻型轰炸机却是鲜为人知。
Today, when people talk about the fanciful B-2 flying-wing bomber, one can not help but think of Northrop Aircraft Co., which was founded by Jack Northrop as early as in the 1920s . Since 1929, the company has been devoted to the development of a wide range of flying-wing aircraft and has manufactured many other practical aircraft. Such as the prestigious P-61 Black Widow night fighter in World War II and the subsequent F-5 series light jet fighter jets, among others. However, a 2EC light bomber developed by Northrop Corp. that was not officially adopted by the United States but participated in the Chinese anti-Japanese war was little known.
