Rommel had the upper hand, but according to Stirling, he had left himself vulnerable; his lines of communication and airfields along the coast were crying out to be attacked.
Once on an airfield, Stirling and his men planted Lewes bombs underneath the wings in the shadows of each Bf-109 fighter. They were set with ten-minute time delay fuses. After six bombs had been planted, the Italians finally realised they were under attack and started to fire rounds off in all directions. However, none of them actually effective as the SAS escaped back into the darkness of the desert.
What the SAS did during World War Two was to revolutionize the way wars could be fought. What was learnt in those early years of the SAS, proved invaluable for setting up techniques and tactics that are still relevant today. David Stirling’s thoughts were to throw out standard military tactics – the SAS was trained to use improvisation rather than follow set military doctrine. At the same time Jock Lewes had similar thoughts to Stirling before joining Stirling in his venture. Stirling Work tells the fascinating and true story of the SAS from its inception in the Libyan Desert to the end of the War in Europe when the SAS did indeed do some sterling work.
