Westland Lysander in Worldwide Service — the thirty-second volume of the Wingleader Photo Archive series on the observation high-wing monoplane that became an aircraft of the secret services.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photographic publication for modelers and aviation historians, not a kit. The thirty-second volume of the numbered Photo Archive series of the British publisher Wingleader was written by Andrew Thomas.
The Lysander was a high-wing monoplane built for cooperation with the ground army and above all for short takeoff and landing: automatic slats and extensive flaps allowed it to work from small field strips. In France in 1940 it turned out that a slow observation machine could not stand up over a modern battlefield, and the losses were heavy. The Lysander found other callings, however — target towing, searching for downed airmen over the sea and above all night flights for the secret services. Machines with a large extra tank under the fuselage and a ladder by the cockpit set down and picked up agents on improvised strips in occupied France. The word worldwide in the title is literal at the same time: Lysanders also flew in the Middle East and in India and were built in Canada as well.
For modelers who build the Lysander and want to check the form of a particular machine, its equipment and markings including the night forms. It will appeal to readers interested in secret operations as well.
