| What British WWII Planes used Hi Guys- British WWII Plane question- I was wondering what planes they used to make supply drops to the French Resistance during the war. Lancasters? Mosquitos? I know they used Lysanders to get agents and such in and out, but where squadrons of Lysanders used to drop supplies as well? Thanks. |

| The best friend of the resistance was the Westland Lystander. Not known so much for para-drops as actually landing behind enemy lines on very austere and short landing spots. British Aircraft of World War II - WESTLAND LYSANDER |

| Mosquitos were used, according to what I've read. Can't comment on other types. |

| Lots of various planes as PB said, the Lysander was used but more for personnel drops and pick ups |
