About the Short Stirling
The Short Stirling was the first four-engined British heavy bomber of the Second World War. It featured a high wing, four engines, an elevated cockpit, and notably large landing gear. Entering RAF Bomber Command service at the end of 1940, it reached operational status in January 1941, with its first mission flown in February 1941 against targets in Rotterdam. The Stirling Mk I could carry over 6,000 kg of bombs and mounted eight 7.7 mm machine guns for defence. Its successor, the Stirling Mk III, introduced improved Bristol Hercules XVI engines and enhanced defensive armament.
