US Naval Aviation Training Division Royal Air Force Short Stirling - UK World War II Heavy Bomber aeroplane Aeroplane identification poster, 1943 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have several in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. Designed by Short Brothers, this was the RAF's first four-engined bomber entering service in 1941. Pilots liked its handling characteristics but the altitude ceiling was a matter of criticism and was relegated to second-line duties in 1943 when the Halifax and Lancaster were available in sufficient numbers. It was subsequently used for mining harbours, as a glider tug and a supply aircraft.
