For many years, as the only ever one author 'in the frame' on this one and I'm delighted to say that Jonathan Falconer accepted the challenge and has produced a stunning tribute to this leviathan of the skies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stirling has come in for a lot of Flak over the years, both literally and metaphorically. Hampered by poor service ceiling and a Muttley style undercarriage, it has always been left in the shadow of the more illustrious Lancaster and Halifax. However, most crews that flew the Stirling were very fond of their aircraft and although its capabilities as a bomber were never as strong as its contemporaries, it blossomed into an extremely useful glider tug and Special Duties aircraft towards the end of the war. This aspect will be covered in our second book on the aircraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs usual in this series, we devote most of the space to high-res original wartime photos, which we examine very closely to pick out details that have been hiding in plain sight for over 70 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you enjoy the book as much as we did creating it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark Postlethwaite\u003cbr\u003eSeries Editor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Falconer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52883790496090,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_5529.jpg?v=1767878289","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/wingleader-magazine-short-stirling-mk-i-iii-in-raf-service-wingleader-photo-archive-number-7","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
