Westland Lysander | The British “Spy Taxi” Aircraft Of WWII

History Documentaries

Perhaps the best-known role for the Westland Lysander during the Second World War was its use as a “spy taxi”, an aircraft capable of flying low under the radar and delivering secret agents, weapons, and radio equipment to resistance fighters in France and Belgium. “Flying a Lysander is truly a remarkable experience. One gets the feeling that with 20 hours or so in the airplane, you could do amazing things with it. Too bad they were never put on floats! Bush-flying with a Lysander would be eye-opening!”
