The DH.82A Tiger Moth biplane was developed by de Havilland in the mid 1930s. Produced in large quantities—over 8,000 units by the end of World War II—it served extensively as a training and liaison aircraft. The DH.82A Tiger Moth gained widespread adoption, with Norway, Portugal, and Sweden establishing their own licensed production facilities. The aircraft also saw service with 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 quipped that the letters DH stood for durable” and hefficient—apt descriptors for this remarkable aircraft. The Tiger Moth continues to delight enthusiasts today, gracing both flying clubs and aviation shows with its presence.
