Question FN & BP Turrets

Apologies if this question is in the wrong place.

Does anybody know whether any books have been written (or any comprehensive websites) on the Frazer-Nash and Boulton Paul turrets? I am aware of a couple of books which include some info on some of the turrets (Flying Guns: World War II by Williams being one) but I'd like details of the lesser known variations. I believe "Boulton Paul Aircraft Since 1915" contains some information - does anybody have a copy, and would they recommend it for the turret information?

Cheers
A

Re: FN & BP Turrets

Hello
there is a book on British gun turrets. I'm at work now and I have a meeting at evening but I'll give the author and the title on wednesday evening at latest if nobody answer before that. Maybe author was Clarke and the title British Aircraft Guns Volume 1. IIRC the volume one was on turrets and Vol. 2 on guns.

Thank you, Juha.

The book looks like it's exactly what I need. I just wish you hadn't told me about it because it looks like hard to get and hence expensive - I shall have start saving my pocket money

Thanks again
