EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of a Boulton Paul Overstrand high-speed day or night bomber of the Royal Air Force (RAF), as it prepares for a mission in the mid-1930s. The Overstrand was a biplane designed by the British aircraft manufacturing company, Boulton Paul, and powered by two Bristol Pegasus 600hp engines. With its advanced features, such as a fully enclosed cockpit and a retractable undercarriage, the Overstrand was considered a significant improvement over earlier RAF bombers. In this image, we see a member of No.101 (B) Squadron, the distinctive roundel of which can be clearly made out on the fuselage. The Overstrand was primarily used for daylight precision bombing raids, but it was also equipped with a rear turret armed with a single Vickers machine gun, making it capable of providing some degree of defensive firepower during night-time operations. The gunner, dressed in flying gear and wearing a helmet, can be seen manning the turret, ready to engage any enemy aircraft that might pose a threat. The Overstrand was a product of its time, reflecting the technological advances and military strategies of the 1930s. Its design and capabilities represented a significant step forward in the development of RAF bomber aircraft, paving the way for more advanced and effective bombers in the years to come. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, pilots, and crew members who worked tirelessly to ensure the RAF was equipped with the best possible aircraft to defend the skies and protect the British homeland.
