Designed by Arthur Davenport under the direction of \"Teddy\" Petter at Westland Aircraft, the Lysander first flew on June 15, 1936. It was built to fulfill an Air Ministry specification calling for a tactical and artillery reconnaissance aircraft with exceptional short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full my-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eThe aircraft's unique design featured a high gull-like wing, a fixed conventional landing gear mounted on an innovative inverted U square-section tube, and fully automatic wing slats and slotted flaps. These aerodynamic refinements gave the Lysander a remarkably low stalling speed of only 65 mph, allowing it to operate from small, unimproved fields. While it initially equipped squadrons for army co-operation and artillery spotting, the Lysander's vulnerability to modern fighters like the Messerschmitt Bf 109 became apparent during the Battle of France in 1940, leading to severe losses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full my-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eHowever, the Lysander found its true calling later in the war. Its exceptional STOL performance made it the perfect aircraft for the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
