EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Saro Lerwick high-speed long-range flying boat, equipped with powerful Bristol Hercules engines. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The flying boat, featured in this illustration for "The RAF in Action" (A&C Black, 1940), was gravure printed to highlight its remarkable details. During World War II, the Saro Lerwick played a significant role as a military aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Its sleek design and advanced technology made it an essential asset during this historic period. This photograph transports us back to 1940 when aviation played a crucial role in warfare. The combination of speed and range offered by the Bristol Hercules engines allowed the Saro Lerwick to cover vast distances efficiently. As we admire this piece of history, we can't help but imagine the brave pilots who flew these planes into battle. This print not only captures an iconic moment from WWII but also serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time. From boats to airplanes, our means of transport have continuously adapted to meet new challenges and demands. Bridgeman Images brings us yet another stunning piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic beauty simultaneously.
