EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the power and grace of three Short Stirling I bombers from the Royal Air Force (RAF) in formation flight during World War II. The image, taken by Charles E. Brown and now part of the RAF Museum's collection, showcases N6096, N6067G, and N3676 as they soar through the sky in perfect synchronization. The Short Stirling was a four-engine heavy bomber developed by Short Brothers in the United Kingdom, and was the first British four-engine bomber to enter operational service. It was a significant aircraft during the early years of the war, and was used primarily for high-altitude bombing raids against German targets. The 1651 Conversion Unit, based at RAF Fairford, was responsible for converting newly delivered Stirlings into various configurations for different RAF squadrons. The unit played a crucial role in ensuring that these aircraft were ready for combat as soon as possible. The Short Stirling I was a formidable aircraft, with a wingspan of 102 feet and a length of 77 feet. It was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, which gave it a top speed of 222 miles per hour and a range of over 1,500 miles. Despite its impressive capabilities, the Short Stirling had its challenges. It was initially criticized for its lack of defensive armament and its vulnerability to enemy fire. However, improvements were made over time, and the Stirling went on to play a valuable role in the RAF's bombing campaigns. This photograph is a testament to the skill and dedication of the RAF pilots and crew who flew these aircraft during the war. It is a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of those who served, and the important role that the RAF played in the outcome of World War II.
