Fired Up! Unsung Heroes The Short S29 Stirling

The Short S.29 Stirling was the first of the Royal Air Force heavies to take the fight to Europe. Often forgotten under the shadow of its more famous contemporaries, the Lancaster and the Halifax, the Stirling nevertheless has a proud and rich story in the years of its service. James Young takes us through an Unsung Hero of the Second World War, Short Brothers' resilient and impressive 'Fighter-Bomber'. Special thanks to the wonderful people at the Stirling Project, who are enthusiastically and painstakingly working on resurrecting an example of this awesome aircraft: https://stirlingproject.org.uk/ Many thanks also to @chickenduckquack for kindly allowing the usage of some their videos in this production: https://www.youtube.com/@chickenduckquack Link to the Boulton-Paul Defiant video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt_EBxc529M A typo with P/O Rawdon Middleton's (VC) squadron, it was with 149 Squadron, and not "491".
