"Flying without any navigation equipment other than a map and compass,
Lysanders would land on short strips of land, such as fields, marked out by
four or five torches. Or to avoid having to land, the agent, wearing a
special padded suit, stepped off at very low altitude and rolled to a stop
on the field." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westland_Lysander
THAT took some guts.
I wonder what that suit looked like?
