Short Stirling

Short Stirling je bil štirimotorni težki bombnik, ki so ga zasnovali v 1930ih pri Short Brothers. Bil je prvi britanski težki štirimotorni bombnik 2. svetovne vojne. Prvi let je bil 14. maja 1939, v uporabo je vstopil leta 1941. Kot strateški bombnik se je uporabljal malo časa, kmalu sta ga nadomestila bolj sposobna Handley Page Halifax in Avro Lancaster. Se je pa Stirling naprej uporabljal kot tovorno letalo in kot vlačilec vojaških jadralnih letal.
