The Short Stirling
Was the very first
British
Four-engine heavy
bomber
The RAF had in the
World War 2
It first entered
service in 1941
And had a very brief career
As an operational
bomber
Quickly being
surpassed
By the Halifax and the
Lancaster
Relegating the
Stirling
To second line role
But it still had a
significant
Contribution to make
First as a glider tug
And then as a resupply
aircraft
During the allied
invasion
Of Europe in 1944-1945
