History
The Lysander was one of the more distinctive aircraft used during the Second World War, designed to give the British Army a modern solution for reconnaissance, observation, and artillery spotting. Its remarkable short take-off and landing abilities made it an ideal choice for the Army's needs.
Regrettably, many design elements were based on outdated concepts. Out of 175 Lysanders deployed to France with the British Expeditionary Force, 118 were lost, as the aircraft struggled to defend itself against Luftwaffe fighters.
