English: Westland Lysander in the National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Washington DC.
The Lysander was a British army co-operation and liaison aircraft produced by Westland Aircraft. It was used during the Second World War and was renowned for its ability to operate from small, unprepared airstrips. The aircraft's exceptional short-field performance made possible clandestine missions behind enemy lines that placed or recovered agents.
Nederlands: Westland Lysander in het National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Washington DC.
De Lysander was een verbindingsvliegtuig gebruikt door de Britten in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het was vooral bekend om zijn korte landings- en startafstand op onvoorbereide landingsbanen. Deze korte afstand maakte het mogelijk agenten voor clandestiene missies achter de linies te brengen of te halen.

Le Lysander, avion de liaison aux performances modestes, acquit une grande renommée grâce à son utilisation pour le transport et la récupération d'espions et d'agents secrets, en particulier des membres du Special Operations Executive ou de la Résistance française.

Die Lysander diente seit Ende 1938 als Verbindungsflugzeug bei der Royal Air Force. Die Lizzie hatte eine sehr kurze Start- und Landestrecke (STOL-Eigenschaften). Am bekanntesten wurde sie aber wahrscheinlich als das Flugzeug, mit dem die SAS ihre Agenten im besetzten Europa absetzte. |
