Description
A Lysander prepares to leave its base on yet another dangerous and secret mission to drop agents into occupied France during WW11. Agents and Pilots alike, took great personal risk during these operations. Pilots having to navigate by map, timing and sight, find and land in fields in the dead of night. Agents having to slip away into the countryside, constantly aware that the enemy could discover them at any moment. They were the bravest of the brave. Equipped with a 890-hp radial engine, the Westland Lysander was used by the Royal Air Force primarily as a liaison aircraft and to drop and evacuate agents and VIPs in occupied France.
