The Moth was designed to be affordable, simple and safe and it inspired a world-wide revolution in civil and military training and private ownership. The DH60 Moth of 1925 led to a family of light airplanes which continued to evolve until the Second World War when most private flying came to an abrupt end. The DH82A Tiger Moth, icon of military pilot training throughout the conflict, became the standard aircraft for post-war flying clubs in many countries and effectively invented the new industry of agricultural aviation. They were used for racing and record breaking, and small airline activities this new book studies the evolution of each of the Moth family of light airplanes and their engines which took place between 1925 and 1939.
