Today we're looking at the Boulton Paul P.31 Bittern. This was a late 1920s attempt at a bomber interceptor. Built as a twinengine monoplane, it was quite ahead of its time, but it was utterly let down by its weak powerplant making it slower than over half the bombers it was meant to hunt.

Producing these videos is a hobby of mine and apparently its now a fulltime job too! I have a passion for history, and personally own a large collection of books, journals and other texts, and endeavor to do as much research as possible. However if there are any mistakes, please don't hesitate to reach out and correct anything :)
