EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring sight of a Westland Lysander in flight near York during the tumultuous times of World War II. Taken by the RAF in August 1940, this image captures not only the beauty and power of this remarkable aircraft but also its crucial role in military operations. Originally designed as an aerial observation post for the army, the Lysander quickly proved its versatility and adaptability. As depicted in this photograph, it later became an invaluable asset for missions behind enemy lines due to its unique ability to land on small, improvised airstrips. This capability allowed brave pilots to infiltrate hostile territories undetected, delivering supplies or rescuing stranded soldiers with unparalleled precision. The significance of this particular image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of courage and determination amidst adversity. The Westland Lysander symbolizes both innovation and resilience during one of humanity's darkest periods. Preserved within Historic England Archive, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective past and honors those who risked their lives flying these magnificent machines. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and bravery while reminding us never to forget the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War II.
