The Westland
Lysander was yet another interesting aircraft type to see service in Turkish Air
Force during WW II. The variety of the aircraft used in Turkey during this
period is simply amazing: Nowhere else can you find Morane MS.406, Spitfire,
Hurricane, Fw.190, He-111, Blenheim, B-24 and Lysanders in the same air force
during 1944, yet all of them were serving in Turkey at that year.
The Lysander
entered Turkish service during early forties, to be used primarily for liaison
and army co-operation. They served until after the WW II in various bases in the
country.
