This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The Stirling was the RAF's first heavy bomber. It carried the bombing campaign in the early years and became a key aircraft as a glider tug on D-Day. An RAAF pilot Flt Sgt Ron Middleton won the VC in a Stirling..
Here's how they built them>

Even though it was the first of the four-engined trio to become operational I'm not sure it 'carried the bombing campaign in the early years'. I would say that the Vickers Wellington did more than its share in this regard, supplemented by the Hampden and Whitley at the very beginning.
Just my opinion.

Still a great video that shows human ingenuity at it's best............
Mass production of such a complex early WW2 bomber design really shows how far we have came along for precise sub-assemblies of complex aircraft during the war.......and of course culminating with the B-29.
Tks for sharing
