Airplane " Laysender "was used in the UK and in several other countries throughout the Second World War as a shock and auxiliary machinery. They used it, and after the war, for peaceful purposes by different organizations and individuals. Number of problems solved "Laysenderom" was very broad: exploration, photography, the defeat of the enemy bombs and small arms, carrying passengers and cargo, rescue work. According to its versatility it is in line with our on-2. The emergence of this "wagon" goes back to the experience of the First World War. After reviewing its results, the British strategists have come to the conclusion that they need a relatively cheap and unpretentious multirole aircraft, able to carry out exploration in the interest of ground forces, including the search of their units, detached from the main force, to establish contact with them, the delivery of supplies and evacuate the wounded. In addition, the expected defeat of identified targets on the battlefield board weapons and performing roving functions. That is supposed to create a plane for the immediate support and interaction with the land forces (in English - Army Cooperation). To create such an aircraft at the end of 1934 was developed specification (specification) A 39/34 and a competition. According to the specifications sent out by the UK's leading aircraft manufacturers, aircraft had to have radio and photographic equipment, a good review for reconnaissance, the stock of bombs and machine guns to defeat the enemy, with a high resistance at low speeds, and be able to take off and land on short unprepared sites. Airfields for the new machine had to be fenced by hedges farm plots, rural roads, forest clearings, and wastelands. One of the mandatory requirements imposed on the car, had the ability to "pick-up" from the ground to lowlevel flight of small goods, such as containers with reports. Such a method of communication with ground air units was considered a very promising at a time when radio stations in parts of the field were still a novelty. The victory in the competition won a firm "Uestland Aircraft Works" with the project R.8 designed by the famous aircraft designer Edward Petter. Petter and his staff in the course of the project visited a number of aviation units, which have found the advantages and disadvantages of already existing in the British Army aircraft, designed to solve such problems.

On the basis of the material collected, it was decided that the aircraft will vysokoplanom to provide a wide All ads field of view forward and down, and have a large span of the wing with slats and flaps for stability and good Add your advert take-off and landing performance. The car made a single-engine and equipped with a solid landing gear to simplify game-insight.com the design and ease of operation. Fixed landing gear had already looked anachronistic, but the rest of the plane Advanced game was created with the latest aviation science and technology. of 2013. The For a single-spar wing chosen scheme with a metal frame. The spar is a rectangular tube riveted duralumin of bent profiles. This arrangement worked well as bending and in torsion. Sock wing from the leading edge to the spar was working duralumin casing, which increased torsional rigidity and made it possible to install automatic slats. The rest of the wing was covered with fabric. Auxiliary spar-ring was in the back of the wing and the suspension was used for the ailerons and flaps. Ordinary rib truss assembled from duralumin profiles and scarves. Power ribs stamped sheet of duralumin. Additional rigidity wing attached internal cross braces. The ailerons and flaps had a similar wing design with a spar, and duralumin toe fabric covering the remainder. Slat completely riveting from duralumin. With the release of the flaps at a certain angle synchronously ailerons deflected downwards, which improved bearing properties of the wing during takeoff and landing. The control system mechanization and aileron cable runs performed. In terms of a wing each had a rather unusual diamond shape. The leading edge of center gave a negative sweep. This worsened the aerodynamics, but gave a good overview of the pilot, whose head was just in front of the wing. The wing was supported by V-shaped braces made of steel pipes hidden under the dural fairing dropshaped cross section. The trailing edge of center perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the airplane, and the outer part of the wing was narrowing due to the negative sweep of the trailing edge. In the wingtips were placed side lights. The power range of the fuselage was going to bolt and rivets of steel tubes and gussets. In order to give a streamlined fuselage oval fastened to the frame stamped dural arc, played the role of frames and stringers. The front part of the fuselage from the engine hood to the back seat pilot is sheathed with smooth sheets of duralumin. The same trim had tail section. Between them, the fuselage was covered with fabric. On the right side access panel did a lot as to facilitate inspection and maintenance of aircraft. Additional operational hatches were also made in other areas, especially in the lower part of the fuselage. They were used for maintenance of systems and units placed inside the fuselage, install the camera, rescue equipment, etc. The engine was attached to the engine mount of steel pipes and closed the hood NACA, consisting of two semi-cylindrical removable panels. Close against the hood to the engine, and it bore the characteristic polukaplevidnye drift that covered rocker valves of the cylinders.

For motor followed firebreak, and more - the total glazed cockpit and letnabov. To maximize visibility, the pilot's seat was lifted over the top cut of the hood. Seat height adjustable, but did not have back armor. The cabin was equipped with heating and ventilation. It covers most of the lantern, which consists of three parts. The side of the front part of a lamp composed of three movable panels connected by hinges allowing to remove them down similarly as shift in vehicles side windows. Top cover lamp along the guide moves back. Thus it was possible to get a fully open cockpit. Right in the cockpit between the pilot's seat and put letnabov large self-sealing fuel tank 435 liters. gasoline. Of course, the pilots were not happy with such dangerous "neighbor", but did not come up with the best designers. Tank protector tightened up to 30 bullet shot, but, of course, did not protect against projectiles. Cab observer closed large sliding canopy that could fall back, on rails laid along the sides of the fuselage. The observer also served as co-driver, operator, AFA and arrow-radio operator. On the "Laysenderah" modifications Mk.I and Mk.II to protect the back of the hemisphere letnabov possessed a machine gun, "Lewis" Mk.lll or "Vickers K" caliber rifle with magazine-fed. Ammunition was located in the eight-lane disk stores, with 97 rounds each. The machine gun was mounted on the sliding pivot set by "Fairy". In the stowed position he cleaned zakabinny fairing under the fuselage. The main drawback of this rifle point - a large "blind spot" for the fairing, where "Laysender" could be attacked with impunity. Later on modifications and Mk.III Mk.IIIA arrow guns handed Sparky "browning" of the same caliber, but with belt-fed. Firepower has increased by about half, but the "blind spot" has not disappeared, and "Laisender" was still an easy target for enemy fighters. Under the fuselage, on the right side on the hinge flap fastened with a hook bar for the pick-up cargo from the ground. To do this, the ground staff had to pull a piece of string hanging from her cargo between the two poles. The plane, flying over the poles, twine and hook the hook with it pick up goods. In the embodiment Mk.IHA (SD) of the cockpit observer cleaned weapons and some instrumentation and instead hung simplest seat-straps to carry four passengers. On the port side ladder was attached, painted fluorescent paint for easy use at night. The tail assembly - conventional design. Metal keel carried integrally with the fuselage. The stabilizer may change the angle of your deployment in flight, for which a pilot had shturvalchik appropriate. Steering wheels have a metal frame, wired duralumin toe and fabric covering the remainder. They were equipped with aerodynamic and weight compensation. Control wiring - using rigid rods. Three-wheeled chassis, the classical scheme with a tail wheel. With its creation used some unusual solutions. Thus, the front of the main chassis is a hollow cast steel in the form of square tube having the shape of an arch. Make this item was not quite easy, but the designers and metallurgists have achieved the desired result - a rack turned light and strong. Before the Second World War, it was the world's largest steel casting this class. As the reception was tough, shock absorbers had placed directly inside the drive wheels. To do this, they found Kit special, which can be disassembled into two halves. Between the two halves placed an oil-air dampers. The wheels rotate on bearings and had air brakes. From the outside it is closed most of the fairings, to give the aircraft a very distinctive look. Dimensions fairings were such that the leading edge in their places the large landing lights, and over the wheel - exchange machine gun, "Browning" caliber 7.69 mm machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition. Containers with cartridge belts placed behind the steel pipe-rack. Over a machine gun in bending rack units provided for fixing an additional "wing" - a pylon bomb racks. Under each pylon can be hung on six small devyatikilogrammovyh bombochek, or two 51 kg bombs or one 113-kilogram. Devyatikilogrammovoy bomb explosion class NOT (High Explosive) by the ravages of approximately corresponded to a three-inch shell explosion. Instead of bombs could be suspended by the appropriate weight of freight containers, with inflatable boats (for rescue operations over the sea) or additional fuel tanks. Another removable suspension assembly for four devyatikilogrammovye bomb was attached underneath the rear fuselage in front of the stabilizer (decision, it must be said, a rather unusual and daring in terms of alignment). The tail wheel "Laysendera" cast in solid rubber, self-orienting with oil-air buffer. The power plant was originally composed of nine-star-engine Bristol "Mercury" ("Mercury") XII, capacity of 890 hp (633 kW).

Later, when a large number of engines required for the production of bombers "Blenheim", "Laysenderu" picked up the engine Bristol "Pegasus" ("Pegasus"), capacity 905 hp (666 kW). This is also nine-"star" had valveless distribution, causing a drift-fairing rocker arms have disappeared from the hood. Version Mk.HI Mk.ShA and had the engine "Mercury" XX power 870 hp (640 kW). The exhaust gases collected in the annular manifold mounted in the front edge of the bonnet (which prevented her icing) and then displayed through the tube in the right lower part of the fuselage. When used in dusty conditions the air to the carburetor air intake can be established protivopylnyi filter by "Wok". Ended with an adjustable hood "skirt" - blinds engine cooling. Fuel tank, as already mentioned, was in the cockpit, between the seats of the crew. Oil tank of 18.2 liters. placed between the firewall and the dashboard pilot. In "Laysendera" modification Mk.MIA (SD and TT) under the fuselage could hang an extra fuel tank capacity of 309 or 682 liters. Production machines were equipped with three-blade metal screw "De Havilland" diameter 3.35 m Pitch resettable two fixed positions. To ensure the exchange of machine-gun fire was used at first sight a simple frame, the frame of which was in the cockpit, on the dashboard, and the fly-over hood. Later on "Laysendere" have been used collimator sights. For training purposes on the center can be established fotopulemet "Williamson" G.22. Two prototypes of the future "Laysendera" took off, respectively, on June 10 and December 11, 1936 with the factory airfield in Yovel. During the tests revealed two significant defect. One day during high-speed dive ripped fabric covering part of the upper surface of the wing. The pilot managed to save the car. In other cases, high-speed flights marked buckling instability. Defects removed: fastening trim reinforced and fixed initially replaced by the adjustable stabilizer. The aircraft was put into service, and at the same time he was named Laysendera - the famous Greek commander the Peloponnesian War (we accepted pronunciation "Lysander"). Pilots also in his everyday life almost immediately simplified the name to the popular female name "Lizzie."

Series production cars launched in the spring of 1938, before the war produced 173 aircraft in modification Mk.I (with the engine "Mercury XII"). Immediately before the war, went on release Mk.II with motors "Pegasus". They were built much more - 442 pieces. At about the same time (1939) licensed to produce "Laysendera" transferred to Canada, where in Malton, near Toronto at the company "National Steel Car Corporation" made 75 aircraft version Mk.II. The following modification of engines had the "Mercury" XX and XXX, rated at 870 hp It was produced in Canada (Mk.NI - 225 pcs.) And the UK (Mk.HIA - 347 pcs.). Mk.III version has been optimized for ground attacks and Mk.HIA (SD) had a larger range, due to ventral suspended tank. It is impossible to say exactly how many built "Laysenderov." Firm "Uestland" claims that Britain released a 1449 aircraft of all variants, and another 225 pieces - in Canada. British "Statistical Review for 1939-1945." informs about the 1452 built "Laysenderah", of which a copy was sold to 61 other countries. Other references say 1650 issued by aircraft. Besides these production vehicles appeared and was partially implemented in a number of projects of special metal aircraft based on the "Laysendera." The most interesting among them are the ones that appeared in the summer 1940 and bear the imprint of the confusion and anxiety experienced by the British while waiting for the alleged landing of German troops in the British Isles. In these circumstances, there have been several modifications of the aircraft intended to control ground, including lightly armored targets. On one of them more guns and cannons were hung under the fuselage and under the wings. But during the tests the aircraft crashed and turned the work. In another project, two 20-mm automatic cannon "Oerlikon" drum-powered set on brackets on the chassis. The tests were, in general, satisfactory, but these guns British sorely lacking even for fighters, so the gun "Laysender" and remained in one piece. The next version of the rifle had a tower on the site of an observer - the project also received further development. There were other improvements - experienced reduced wing sweep and reverse sweep, set the brake pads for attacks from a dive, replaced the wheels on the skis (this was done by Canadians and Finns). About 50 "Laysenderov" released in the British version of towing air targets. The machine, which received the designation TT Mk.III, was under the fuselage electric winch for extension and retraction of the cone. Another aircraft based on the same Mk.III adapted to tow gliders. To do this, the tail section of the fuselage set special frame with lock for towing a rail. The fate of this prototype is not known to me. Geography and time range of applications "Laysenderov" are extensive. But the main field of activity for them was, of course, Europe, where in September 1939 and World War II broke out. From September to November, about 90 aircraft were transferred to France. In the future, the number of "Laysenderov" on the continent reached 174 units. During the "Phony War" they carried out reconnaissance flights, but the fire contact with the enemy was not. That all changed May 10, 1940, when the Wehrmacht launched a massive offensive on Holland, Belgium and France. By the time it was clear to many that "Laysender" too is vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire and virtually powerless in the battle with the "Messerschmitt". The concept car is based on the experience of the 20-year-old did not match the realities of modern warfare. But someone had to resist the irresistible onslaught of armored and motorized columns Wehrmacht crack the defense of allies. At first tried to solve this problem battalions of more modern light bombers Fairey "Battle", but they melted in the fire fighting just a few days. Then thrown into the battle, "Lizzie old ladies." For example, May 25, crews 613th Division in conjunction with the more archaic Hawker biplanes "Hector" and bombed the German long-range artillery positions near the town of Calais, searched and attacked convoys Germans. The effectiveness of these attacks was small and the losses - significant. For example, the 4th Division from 10 to 23 May completed 106 combat sorties, losing 11 vehicles and 18 crew members. In addition, advanced airbases "Laysenderov" were frequent aerial bombardment, resulting in further casualties. Since May 27, "Laysendery" were trying to get to the supply ground troops. 22 cars took off to assist the defenders of the German coastal fortress surrounded by feces. Despite intense anti-aircraft fire, most of the crew managed to get to the goal, but they dropped 15 containers of ammunition and ammunition fell into the enemy's location. As a result, the English garrison of the fortress, being without means of resistance, was forced to surrender. During the operation, the German anti-aircraft guns shot down two "Laysendera." It is known, however, a few episodes to prove that many crews "Lizzie" fought bravely and skillfully. For example, a plane piloted by Lt. Durden, the town of Cambrai was attacked by a group of Bf 109, he was able to fight back and after 20 minutes of fierce battle made an emergency landing. In the car, counted 32 bullet holes, including several "holes" in the tank. May 22, Lieutenant Dodge to "Laysendere" Skid code KO-U knocked out of their coursework German machine guns scout "Henschel" Hs 126, and his shooter - hurt dive bomber Ju 87. Losses from "friendly" friendly fire - almost inevitable phenomenon in any war. Not passed a similar fate and "Laysender." "Spitfire" mistakenly attacked a plane R1720, damaging the car and killing the observer. The pilot did manage to break away from persecution and land on the airfield. But overall, despite the heroism of the crews, the outcome of hostilities "Laysenderov" during the French campaign were joyless: of 174 aircraft involved in the fighting, 88 were shot down by fighters or fire FOR. Another 30 cars smashed and burned to the ground by bombing or simply abandoned during the retreat. 120 pilots were killed. It seemed like it was to convince the RAF commanders that "Laysender" does not suit the role of the plane of the battlefield, and that as such it is necessary to use special, highly secure machine drums, or fighters with bombs. However, as already mentioned, under the threat of German invasion of the British a few months frantically tried to turn "Lizzie" in the attack. Meanwhile, after returning from France, replenish and re-adjust, battered divisions "Laysenderov" found new combat missions. In July 1940, 12 aircraft delivered to the marine rescue service. They patrolled the British coastal waters in search of sunken ships and crews of downed aircraft. Upon detection of distress airmen and sailors they dumped inflatable rubber boats and taken out to them rescue boats. In 1941, NC "Laysenderov" formed four rescue division. Put on a pair of planes at all coastal airfields along the eastern and western coasts of Britain.

Another important task faced "Laysenderami" was to support the resistance forces in occupied France. After the defeat of the continent settled in England a lot of French patriots zhelavih fight with the Germans. Their support handled by a special organization SOE - (Special Operation Executive) at the British intelligence service. She was responsible for zabrosku agents, promotional materials, weapons and radio stations across the English Channel. For this purpose, used a variety of means, from planes to submarines. At first, the British were going to use a twin-engine aircraft "Hudson" or "Whitley" as more lifting. But it is much better suited "Laysendery" with their ability to take off and land on short and uneven ground. First for special operations contributed 20 aircraft modification Mk.I. But very soon the number of cars has increased, and then for such actions developed a special version of "Laysendera" - Mk.IIIA (SD), who had a much larger radius of action due to an additional 150-gallon (682 liters). Ventral fuel tank. The transfer agents across the English Channel was risky and difficult operation. The pilot was required in the darkness just go to the given box and found a small area designated only three or four fires. In this case, the Germans sometimes tried to lure the English on dummy airfields trap, where instead of the guerrillas, they were met by the team dressed SS. One of the pilots, has landed on this airfield, intuitively sensed danger. He turned the car around and under a hail of gunfire took off. He still managed to break through like a sieve plane and with a bullet in his shoulder to hold on to their airfield. And two of his colleagues from 161 Squadron special forces are less fortunate ... Until the end of 1944 "Laysendery" performed about 400 night flights into the enemy's rear. However, they showed their best side. For example, out of 157 flights in the 161st Battalion, 111 have been completely successful. France transported 293 agents and taken back to England almost 500 people - Exhaust agents wounded guerrillas, etc. One of them was Vincent Auriol, the future president of the post-war France. The rest of the flights were unsuccessful, as a rule, because of the inability to find a landing pad. Move on to other theaters of war. In British India before the war formed the 20th and 28th Divisions, the armed "Laysenderami." Since the beginning of Japanese aggression was transferred to Burma and used for bombing assault against the Japanese troops who landed on the islands of Andaman and advancing in the Burmese jungle. Start combat service "Lizzie" in South Asia, it was overshadowed by embarrassing losses due to defects weapons. Several aircraft exploded in the run-up due to knocking 9-pound bombs hanging on underwing pylons. Fuses bombs finalized, and further "Laysendery" quite successfully acted on enemy communications, maiming and scaring elephants and other beasts of burden, which the Japanese used as the only possible in the impenetrable jungle of the vehicle. After the capture of Burma by the Japanese planes returned to India, where they were used until the end of 1942 In 1943, a few "Laysenderov" of 357 Squadron carried out special missions in Burma by the British Army Intelligence agents Getting into the enemy's rear, just like their colleagues from 161 Squadron in Europe. In the Middle East, "Laysendery" appeared in 1938, when 24 cars versions Mk.I, equipped with dust filters, was taken to Egypt. A little later formed another 6th "Middle East" Division in Ramallah (Palestine). "Laysendery" of this division carried out police functions, is constantly trying to control the smoldering conflict between Jews and Arabs. They performed patrol missions, suppress smuggling of weapons and illegal crossing of borders, as well as liaise between the British garrison. With the start of the Italian aggression in Egypt intensity of use "Lizzie" increased dramatically. Now they had to conduct reconnaissance and bombing the advancing of Cairo and Alexandria by Italian troops. We also add the task of supplying the air defense of the fortress besieged Tobruk Italians. In the spring of 1941, nine aircraft were transferred via Crete to Greece. But there's just a few days three of them were shot down. After the defeat of the British in Greece surviving aircraft was returned to Egypt, where they continued to perform reconnaissance and communication functions. In one of these flights took an amazing event when near the town of Mechelen crew "Laysendera" managed to shoot down a German freighter Ju 52. 25 former British "Laysenderov" fought in North Africa in the Free French Air Force. In late 1940, these cars were handed over to General Leclerc, who used them in battles in Tunisia, in close cooperation with the British allies. Were marked "Laysendery" as in the far south and the far north. First Division Southern Rhodesia Air Force supported the landing on the island of Madagascar, and later participated in battles against the Italians in Ethiopia. Four Mk.I and Mk.III nine Englishmen in spring 1940 gave Finland. These machines are not able to take part in the "Winter War", but flew intensively during the "Continuation War", as the Finns call their part in the war with the Soviet Union in 1941-44. In the winter they put on skis that enable it to act with the snow and ice of frozen lakes. In addition to the posters of the belligerent powers, some "Laysendery" wore insignia of countries not participating in the Second World War. Turkey received 36 pieces Mk.II, Ireland - six copies of the same modifications, and Portugal - eight Mk.III. In 1939, there were negotiations on the purchase of "Laysenderov" with Latvia and Estonia, but in connection with the entry of the republics of the Soviet Union, the delivery does not take place. Machines like "Laysenderu" destination, created not only in Britain but also in other countries. This, for example, the American Piper "Cab", a German Fiziler Fi 156 "Storch" and our Po-2. On their background in "Laysendera" the biggest size and take-off weight. In addition, he was the most complex design, the highest flight data, and thus the highest price. Piper "Cab" had the smallest dimensions of these, but also the number of solved tasks it was small. This intelligence, in part, adjustment and express-crew functions. As the strike aircraft it has not been applied. Fi 156 best suit the concept of multi-role aircraft for direct interaction with the ground forces. In size it is less "Laysendera" much cheaper, but the problem is mainly solved the same. "Storch" conducted reconnaissance, artillery corrected, if necessary, could hit the enemy with light bombs. In addition, he served as connected, courier and rescue functions, threw agents behind enemy lines. Not only was involved in rescue operations at sea. In the Soviet-2 in size was intermediate between "Storch" and "Kebom." Its simple design, the use of wood and other non-deficient materials, it was the cheapest and the most massive multi-purpose aircraft of World War II.

Unlike "Laysendera," he is well-proven as a shock machine. The secret of success lies in good maneuverability, and most importantly - the right tactics in its application. The strikes, mostly at night, with low altitude and low speed allowed just "lay" bomb. As a light night bomber, he spent the entire war inflicted harassing attacks on German forces and even the early 50's used in the same role in the Korean War. As for the flight to the front line to support the guerrillas, the Po-2 performed these raids is much more than "Laysender." The only drawback - a regular cab Po-2 was placed only one passenger. But the application of special cartridge allowed to increase passenger capacity. Of course, comfort was not there, but in wartime can bear. Another weak point Po-2, in comparison with the "Laysenderom" were open cockpit instrumentation and poverty. Typically, our pilots flew without radio, not to mention the modern aerial cameras and navigation systems. And yet, the only task of the inherent "Laysenderu," which did not perform on-2, it is "water rescue". But here, worked mostly "geographical" factor. On the other hand, 2-for decades served as a great job of training pilots and parachutists training. After the war, the need for "Laysenderah" disappeared. They were retired and sold cheaply to all comers. For example, Canadian cars were sold for a nominal fee of $ 250. In England and Canada, was created several private airlines, which are converted to "Laysenderah" engaged in the fields and fertilizer spraying crops with pesticides. Other transporting emergency goods or rolled tourists and thrill-seekers. But because of the large take-off weight "Laysendera" (and hence - high fuel consumption) and the emergence of special agricultural and sports-touring machine this business was unprofitable and quickly faded away. Most of the "Laysenderov" has gone for scrap, and others standing idle on the outskirts of the Western European and Canadian airports. But the story "Lizzie" is not over. With the development of museums and the growing interest in "aviation antiques", "Laysendery" became honorary exhibits of museums and private collections. In this regard, the fate of the Po-2 formed on one side happier, and the other - the more tragic. "Maize" is widely used for a long time in the economy after the war, but at the end of his flying career in our museums is almost gone these wonderful machines.
