EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short Bomber of 1915, a British aircraft that owes a significant debt to its predecessor, the Type 184. With a production total of 83 units, the Type 184 was a short-lived military aircraft, having been withdrawn from service in April 1917. The Short Bomber of 1915, however, built upon the foundations laid by its predecessor and became a formidable asset in the skies during the First World War. The Short Bomber of 1915 was a two-seat biplane designed primarily for day and night bombing missions. Its distinctive features included a large bomb bay located beneath the fuselage and a defensive machine gun mounted on a flexible mounting in the rear cockpit. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Eagle engine, this aircraft boasted a top speed of 108 mph and a range of approximately 500 miles. The influence of the Type 184 on the design of the Short Bomber of 1915 is evident in the similarities between the two aircraft, particularly in their general configuration and overall layout. The Short Bomber of 1915, however, represented a significant advancement in military aviation technology, with improved performance and enhanced capabilities that made it a valuable addition to the British air fleet during the First World War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of early military aviation, showcasing the evolution of aircraft design and the crucial role that innovation and adaptation played in the development of air power during the First World War.
