As early as 1940, American strategists had an interest in night flying. British fighter pilots were flying aircraft designed for day and night flying. Many night fighters were converted from earlier heavy fighter designs and some from bombers. This role typically required the use of radar, aerodrome beacons as well as direction finders to find the airbase at night and various communications equipment and lighting inside the cockpit. During World War II the Luftwaffe also experimented with single-engine planes in this role which they referred to as Wilde Sau (wild boar).
