About the De Havilland Tiger Moth:

The De Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth is one of the most famous training aircraft in aviation history. First flown in 1931, this rugged biplane became the primary trainer for RAF pilots during World War II, with over 8,000 built. Its forgiving flight characteristics, simple construction, and reliable Gipsy Major engine made it ideal for teaching basic flying skills. The Tiger Moth’s distinctive staggered wing design allowed easy escape by parachute if needed. After the war, many Tiger Moths entered civilian service as trainers, crop dusters, and recreational aircraft. Today, hundreds remain airworthy worldwide, beloved by vintage aircraft enthusiasts for their classic appearance and delightful flying qualities.
