Per Hysing-Dahl, DFC & Bar (born 31 July 1920 in Bergen, died 7 April 1989) was a Norwegian resistance member, pilot, industry manager and politician for the Conservative Party.

The squadron was split in two; A-flight operated with Westland Lysander and Lockheed Hudson, landing and picking up agents of the SOE in German-occupied Europe.

Hysing-Dahl's first tour of duty of 30 sorties was with the Halifax aircraft in B-flight, and ended in January 1944.

Normally one was sent to rest after a period ended, but Hysing-Dahl immediately began a new round, this time in A -the flight with the Lysander planes.

An air bottle to inflate the life raft Hysing-Dahl had in the parachute pack did not work.

After a period of rest, during which he flew de Havilland Mosquito and Bristol Beaufighter aircraft from factories in England to RAF units in Egypt for Ferry Command, in March 1945 Hysing-Dahl was back with 161 Squadron and B-flight.
