During the [[Second World War]] two German [[Heinkel He 111]] bombers crash landed on the island in 1941. The first was on 3 March, when all the crew survived and were taken prisoner.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lloyd |first=Howard |date=21 March 2021 |title=German bombers crash-landing on Lundy Island provoked angry mob |url= https://www.devonlive.com/news/history/month-two-german-bombers-incredibly-5202121 |access-date=1 February 2024 |website=Devon Live}}</ref>

The second was on 1 April when the pilot was killed and the other crew members were taken prisoner.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gade |first1=Mary |last2=Michael |first2=Harman |title=Lundy's War |date=1995 |publisher=Mary Gade |location=Appledore |isbn=978-0-9525602-0-3}}</ref> This plane had bombed a British ship and one engine was damaged by [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti aircraft]] fire, forcing it to crash land. Most of the metal was salvaged, although a few remains can be found at the crash site to date. Reportedly, to avoid reprisals, the crew concocted the story that they were on a reconnaissance mission.<ref>{{cite web |title=Heinkel He-111 3911 - Lundy |url= http://members.multimania.co.uk/daveswrecks/photoalbum16.html |publisher=AIRCRAFT WRECKS in the UK & Ireland |access-date=3 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100620055821/http://members.multimania.co.uk/daveswrecks/photoalbum16.html |archive-date=20 June 2010}}</ref>
