Details
The Westland Lysander is one of Britain's, if not the world's, most easily recognizable aircraft. Originally designed for army cooperation duties, the Lysander's career in that role was short, and it was in other capacities, including aerial liaison and ground support, that the type was destined to make a real name for itself. A Lysander would have been a welcome sight to a downed pilot in the sea during the early stages of World War Two, and, in much the same way, an agent seeking to return to England in the middle of night, likewise, would have embraced the 'Lizzie'. The Lysander was also heavily used at air gunnery schools, and a multitude of target towing flights gave fledgling fighter pilots their first taste of firing live rounds at a moving target. This new book edition of Aeroplane Icons: Lysander demonstrates why the Lysander is, and will always be, one of the world's great iconic flying machines.
