Discover the fascinating history of the Short Stirling, the Royal Air Force's pioneering four-engine heavy bomber introduced in 1941 during World War II. This essential aircraft played a pivotal role in the RAF's strategic bombing campaigns, although it faced several early challenges that ultimately affected its performance. With its reduced wingspan limiting maximum altitude and its frail two-stage landing gear, the Short Stirling was particularly vulnerable to enemy night fighters. Despite these hurdles, this bomber proved invaluable for secondary missions, including glider-towing, paratroop drops, minelaying, and supply roles. As the war progressed, the Short Stirling was phased out after November 1943, replaced by the more successful Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster. It continued to serve in post-war years as a passenger transport until the late 1940s. This book by author Ron Mackay, published by Schiffer Books, is a concise yet visually engaging history of this often-overlooked RAF WWII bomber. It features comprehensive insights, impressive visuals, and critical evaluations of the Stirling's impact on wartime aviation. With dimensions of 230 x 230 mm and 112 pages of rich content, this hardback edition is perfect for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and those interested in the technical evolution of WWII bombers.Delivery information: Orders are shipped across New Zealand within 2-5 business days.
Introduced in 1941, the Short Stirling was the Royal Air Force's first four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War. However, early on, the Stirling's performance was compromised by several issues: a reduced wingspan, which resulted in serious limitations on maximum altitude capability; the two-stage landing gear proved to be dangerously frail; and the bomb-bay design proved incapable of carrying large-scale blockbuster bombs. Its altitude ceiling limitations left the aircraft particularly vulnerable to isolation and dispatch by enemy night fighters within the bomber stream, and it was these factors that ultimately led to its withdrawal from Britain's strategic bombing campaign over occupied Europe. By November 1943, it was replaced by the more effective Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster. However, it did see important second-line duty in the glider-towing, paratroop drop, minelaying, and supply roles. The Stirling also saw post-WWII duties as a passenger transport up to the late 1940s. This book is a concise, visual history of this lesser-known RAF WWII bomber.

Extremely Reliable Sun Protection for Active Days — A Must‑Have for Outdoor Sports
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Summary:
This Neutrogena Sport Face Sunscreen SPF 70+ is powerful, long‑lasting, and perfect for intense outdoor activity. It stays put through sweat and heat, provides excellent protection, and prevents sunburn even under harsh Texas sun.
Details:
I’ve been using this sunscreen for about a year, and it has become an essential part of my sports routine. Since I play outdoor games in the afternoon, having a dependable sunscreen is non‑negotiable — and this one truly delivers. Even after long hours outside in the Texas heat, I’ve never experienced sunburn while using it.
The formula is designed specifically for active lifestyles. It’s sweat‑resistant and water‑resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it doesn’t wear off easily when you’re running, sweating, or wiping your face. Unlike many high‑SPF sunscreens that feel heavy, this one is oil‑free, non‑greasy, and doesn’t clog pores. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky or shiny finish, which is a huge plus when you’re active.
The Helioplex technology provides strong broad‑spectrum UVA and UVB protection, helping to prevent both burning and long‑term sun damage. It’s also oxybenzone‑free and octinoxate‑free, making it compliant with Hawaii Act 104 and suitable for people who avoid certain chemical filters.
Another great feature is its travel‑friendly 2.5 oz size, which is convenient to keep in your sports bag or backpack. You can reapply easily between matches or during outdoor activities.
If there’s anything to improve, a fully fragrance‑free version would be nice for those sensitive to scents — although the current light scent isn’t bothersome.
Overall, this is a dependable, high‑performance sunscreen for anyone who spends significant time outdoors.
What I liked
• Excellent sun protection — prevented sunburn even in intense heat
• Sweat‑ and water‑resistant for up to 80 minutes
• Oil‑free and non‑comedogenic — doesn’t cause breakouts
• Lightweight, non‑greasy texture
• Broad‑spectrum UVA/UVB protection with Helioplex
• Oxybenzone‑free and Hawaii Act 104 compliant
• Perfect travel size for sports or daily activities
What could be better
• A fragrance‑free option would be a nice addition

Solid sunscreen for active use
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this sunscreen for outdoor workouts and beach days, and it works really well. It provides strong sun protection, goes on fairly lightweight, and doesn’t feel too greasy for a high SPF product. I also like that it holds up against sweat and water, so I don’t have to constantly reapply.
The only downside is that it can sting my eyes if I start sweating a lot, and it may leave a slight white cast if not blended in fully.
Overall, it’s a dependable sunscreen for sports and outdoor activities, especially for the price.

Works and Worth It for the Anti-Sun Crowd
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Expensive stuff but works very well. I spent too much time looking for cheaper stuff and settled with this for an extended hiking trip in the sun, which I have been using for a long time. Never had even a hint of redness when I use this, so I am sticking with what I know
