The Independent A1E1 was a multi-turreted tank designed by the British armaments manufacturer Vickers during the Interwar period. Although only ever reaching the prototype stage, it influenced many other tank designs.
Design The Independent had a central gun turret with the 3 pdr (47 mm) gun. To the front two subsidiary turrets each with a Vickers MG, to the rear two more turrets, again each with a single Vickers MG but able to elevate to engage aircraft. Production A single prototype was produced in 1926. See also The A1E1 design can be seen as a possible influence on The Independent tank can be seen at Bovington Tank Museum. | ||||||||
