The Type 142M was a three-seat medium bomber with
a pair of 840 horsepower Mercury VIII engines as power plants. The
compact, sturdy design had the pilot seated in a generously glazed
nose flanked by the two engines, into the nacelles of which the
main wheels retracted rearwards. The raised position of the wings
allowed the insertion of a bomb-bay with a 1,000 pound capacity.
A Browning gun was fitted in the nose for the pilot, and a bomb-aiming
position was provided in the same location. The Bristol B. I Mk.
I dorsal turret containing a single Vickers K or Lewis gun was semi-retractable.
