One of the most famous biplanes ever built, the Tiger Moth was made in large quantities before and during WWII as a basic trainer. The DH.82 Tiger Moth was developed from de Havilland's successful and famous Moth line of biplanes. Based on the DH.60T Moth Trainer, the Tiger Moth first flew on October 26 1931. Similar to the earlier Moth and Gipsy Moth the new aircraft was a two place biplane and featured a Gipsy Major engine and wood and metal construction. The Tiger Moth entered service with the RAF in 1932 after it attracted the attention of the military and by the end of its life over 7,000 had been commissioned.
