EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable Cierva C. 30 autogyro, a groundbreaking flying machine designed by Juan de la Cierva during the 1930s. Built under license from the Cierva Autogiro Company in Britain, France, and Germany, this particular model played a vital role during World War II. Twelve of these magnificent aircraft were commissioned for service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as Avro 671 Rota Mk 1. Although relatively few saw action during the war, their impact was undeniable. The image captures one of these historic planes mid-flight, symbolizing not only its physical prowess but also its contribution to wartime efforts. The photograph is part of "The Royal Air Force in Pictures" an esteemed publication authored by Major Oliver Stewart – a renowned World War I flying ace turned writer.
