Turret First | Boulton Paul P.75 Overstrand

The end of the First World War finally brought peace to a war-weary Europe, but it also marked the decline of large military contracts. This shift posed significant challenges for companies heavily involved in the production of military equipment, vehicles, and aircraft, as they struggled to secure new orders. One such company was the British firm Boulton Paul Aircraft Manufacturer. During the 1920s, Boulton & Paul operated under difficult conditions, barely surviving by producing prototypes or, if fortunate, securing small production orders for various aircraft types. However, the company's fortunes began to improve with the development of the P.29 Sidestrand, bomber. While fast, this bomber suffered from a significant flaw: its nose design restricted the forward gunner’s field of fire. In response, Boulton & Paul engineers devised an innovative solution: a fully enclosed, forward-mounted rotating turret. This feature was incorporated into their next design, the Boulton Paul P.75 Overstrand bomber. Although produced in small numbers, Overstrand’s turret system laid the foundation for future advancements in turret-equipped aircraft, a concept that would later be widely adopted by the Royal Air Force.
