Description
This item is a signed commemorative collector’s card, likely part of a limited edition series produced to honour the legacy of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The subject is the Short Stirling, the first British four-engine heavy bomber to see active service. The card specifically commemorates No. 15 Squadron, featuring their official motto, Aim sure. The piece is hand-signed in pencil by Warrant Officer C. Chandler, a veteran airman who operated the Stirling with No. 15 Squadron during missions over Europe. Such ephemera was frequently produced for veterans’ associations or aviation museums during the 1990s and early 2000s to preserve the history of Bomber Command. Text on the card reads: SHORT STIRLING, No. 15 Squadron Royal Air Force, Aim sure, Warrant Officer C. Chandler. This Special Edition card has been personally signed by a Veteran who flew in the Short Stirling while serving with No. 15 Squadron in Europe.
