Stirling Bombers Calendar
The Stirling was the first four-engine heavy bomber to be introduced into service with Great Britain during World War II. The Stirling made its maiden flight in May 1939, entering service in August 1940. Recognisable by its distinctive high-mounted wing and large fuselage, the Stirling was initially envisioned as a long-range bomber, capable of carrying heavy bomb loads. Despite its innovative design, the Stirling faced challenges such as limited altitude performance and vulnerability to enemy fighters, leading to a shift in its role to nocturnal operations.
The Stirling played a significant role in the early years of the Allied bombing campaign, undertaking numerous strategic bombing raids over Germany and occupied territories. However, its relatively short operational career as a frontline bomber was due to its limitations and the emergence of more advanced aircraft. The Stirling later found success in other roles, including glider-tug, transport, and maritime reconnaissance. Despite its ultimate withdrawal from frontline bomber duties, the Short Stirling holds historical importance as a pioneering heavy bomber and a testament to the evolving tactics and technology of the wartime air forces.
The Stirling's contribution to the war effort extended beyond its primary role, demonstrating adaptability in various capacities. Its significance lies in being a trailblazer for subsequent heavy bombers, paving the way for the development of more advanced aircraft. While the Stirling may not have achieved the same lasting fame as some of its contemporaries, its role in the early strategic bombing campaign and its subsequent adaptation showcase the dynamic nature of aircraft development during World War II.

Stunning artwork, ordering this is a decision I'm glad I made. Will be looking forward to purchasing more calendars from this creator in the years to come. Printing turned out exactly as expected, all the images are vivid and beautiful. The '2020' I placed out the front is correctly fitted along with all the other customisations I tweaked with.

I am generally satisfied with the quality of the calendar. The printing was of good quality considering some of the pictures I selected were not originally in good quality therefore, it was as I expected.
