The Short Sterling won the distinction as the RAF’s first
purpose built four-engine monoplane bomber. A strong, highly
complex design it gained a reputation as a pilot’s aircraft
to fly being agile for a big bomber and demonstrating great character.
Well over 2000 Stirling’s provided stout service for the
RAF in a variety of extremely important roles throughout WW2
– Bomber, Pathfinder, Minelayer, Glider-towing, Transporter,
SOE operations and more.
Signed by Sterling pilots; J.W. Hill and Lettice Curtis. |
