Description
This item is a modern Special Edition commemorative card or insert, likely produced as part of a limited edition aviation history collection such as the Aircraft of the RAF series. The piece serves as a tribute to the Short Stirling, the Royal Air Force’s first four-engined heavy bomber of the Second World War, and specifically No. 90 Squadron. The centre of the card features an authentic hand-signed signature in fine-point pen by Warrant Officer James Coman, DFC. Coman was a decorated veteran who served as aircrew on the Stirling during operations in the European theatre. The card features a printed double-line border and formal typography. Transcribed text reads: SHORT STIRLING, No. 90 Squadron Royal Air Force, Swift, (Signed) James Coman, Warrant Officer J. Coman DFC. The lower text confirms the provenance of the signature: This Special Edition card has been personally signed by a Veteran who flew in the Short Stirling while serving with No. 90 Squadron in Europe. Dimensions: 148mm x 210mm.
