The DH.82A Tiger Moth biplane was developed by de Havilland in the mid-1930s. It was produced in large numbers - over 8,000 by the end of World War II - and served primarily as a trainer and liaison aircraft. The DH.82A Tiger Moth was widely used, and Norway, Portugal, and Sweden established their own licensed production facilities. The aircraft was also used by pilots from Belgium, France, and the USA. Simple yet reliable, the DH.82A Tiger Moth earned genuine affection and respect from novice and experienced pilots alike. Some even joked that the letters "DH" stood for "durable" and "(h)efficient"-apt descriptions for this remarkable aircraft. The Tiger Moth continues to delight enthusiasts today, enhancing its presence at both flying clubs and air shows.
