Default Switch recommendation?

I'm looking for a DPDT toggle switch that will allow me to control both the taxi and landing lights; I'd like down to be off, middle to be taxi light only, and up to be both landing and taxi light. This seems to imply an off-on-on arrangement, but I haven't found any such thing. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I used a Honeywell 2-TL10 for my Taxi & Landing lights. Wired exactly the way you want to do yours.

The TL's are a bit pricey but very high quality. I'm sure their are other less expensive 3-Position DPDT switches available.
