Lynx: Final Years in French Service

Lynx: The Final Year in French Service

When introduced in 1978, the Westland Lynx offered a massive improvement over the helicopters then in service with the French Navy for anti-submarine duties and it quickly became a highly popular rotorcraft. From an asset specialising in antisubmarine warfare, it was soon turned into a multirole platform that proved incredibly versatile, performing an extremely wide range of roles. However, after more than 40 years in service, the Lynx was an ageing design, and in August 2020, it was withdrawn from Aeronautique Navale service.

Containing more than 200 colour images, this book charts the final year in French service of this much-loved machine.
