Philip West's tribute to an RAF bomber, often forgotten. The Short Stirling won the distinction as the RAF’s first purpose built four-engine monoplane bomber. A strong, highly complex design it gained a reputation as a pilot’s aircraft to fly being agile for a big bomber and demonstrating great character. Well over 2000 Stirling’s provided stout service for the RAF in a variety of extremely important roles throughout WW2 – Bomber, Pathfinder, Minelayer, Glider-towing, Transporter, SOE operations and more. 175 Limited Editions Each edition has been signed by the artist along with two RAF veteran Sterling pilots; 1st Officer Lettice Curtis (ATA Pilot) Warrant Officer J W Hill (196 Squadron Pilot) Overall Size : 28 x 20 inches
