The Short Stirling, a product of Short Brothers, was the RAF's first four-engined heavy bomber of World War II. Entering service in 1941, it played a pivotal role in night-time bombing raids over Europe. With a distinctive tall undercarriage and a wingspan limited by pre-war airfield sizes, the Stirling could carry up to 14,000 pounds of bombs. Despite its early promise, it was soon outclassed by newer bombers like the Avro Lancaster, leading to its reassignment in roles such as glider towing and supply drops by 1943. The Stirling's robust design and versatility made it a key player in critical missions, including the D-Day landings and Operation Market Garden, showcasing the aircraft's adaptability and the bravery of its crews.
