Westland Lysander - STOL

.Secret Agents Who Served The French Resistance By Night - Time > .

The Westland Lysander was a British army co-operation and liaison aircraft produced by Westland Aircraft used immediately before and during the Second World War. After becoming obsolete in the army co-operation role, the aircraft's exceptional short-field performance enabled clandestine missions using small, unprepared airstrips behind enemy lines to place or recover agents, particularly in occupied France with the help of the French Resistance.

Field of view, low-speed handling characteristics and STOL performance were the most important requirements

British army air co-operation aircraft were named after mythical or historical military leaders; in this case the Spartan general Lysander was chosen.
