Discover the fascinating history of the Short Stirling, the Royal Air Force's pioneering four-engine heavy bomber introduced in 1941 during World War II. This essential aircraft played a pivotal role in the RAF's strategic bombing campaigns, although it faced several early challenges that ultimately affected its performance. With its reduced wingspan limiting maximum altitude and its frail two-stage landing gear, the Short Stirling was particularly vulnerable to enemy night fighters. Despite these hurdles, this bomber proved invaluable for secondary missions, including glider-towing, paratroop drops, minelaying, and supply roles. As the war progressed, the Short Stirling was phased out after November 1943, replaced by the more successful Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster. It continued to serve in post-war years as a passenger transport until the late 1940s. This book by author Ron Mackay, published by Schiffer Books, is a concise yet visually engaging history of this often-overlooked RAF WWII bomber. It features comprehensive insights, impressive visuals, and critical evaluations of the Stirling's impact on wartime aviation. With dimensions of 230 x 230 mm and 112 pages of rich content, this hardback edition is perfect for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and those interested in the technical evolution of WWII bombers.Delivery information: Orders are shipped across New Zealand within 2-5 business days.
Introduced in 1941, the Short Stirling was the Royal Air Force's first four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War. However, early on, the Stirling's performance was compromised by several issues: a reduced wingspan, which resulted in serious limitations on maximum altitude capability; the two-stage landing gear proved to be dangerously frail; and the bomb-bay design proved incapable of carrying large-scale blockbuster bombs. Its altitude ceiling limitations left the aircraft particularly vulnerable to isolation and dispatch by enemy night fighters within the bomber stream, and it was these factors that ultimately led to its withdrawal from Britain's strategic bombing campaign over occupied Europe. By November 1943, it was replaced by the more effective Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster. However, it did see important second-line duty in the glider-towing, paratroop drop, minelaying, and supply roles. The Stirling also saw post-WWII duties as a passenger transport up to the late 1940s. This book is a concise, visual history of this lesser-known RAF WWII bomber.

Grammy approved!
Yummy, healthy and excellently priced. Arrived very quickly. We used them to stuff Easter eggs for 1 and 3 year olds and the individual cookie packaging allowed for this.
