De Havilland DH.82C Tiger Moth
World War II Training Aircraft
The De Havilland DH.82C Tiger Moth is an iconic biplane primarily used as a training aircraft by Allied forces during World War II. Originally designed in the United Kingdom and widely produced in Canada, it played a key role in preparing thousands of pilots as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
Sturdy, reliable, and easy to handle, the Tiger Moth was ideal for teaching new recruits the basics of flight. The Canadian-built DH.82C version was specially modified for cold weather, featuring an enclosed cockpit, cabin heating, and a strengthened undercarriage.
Today, the Tiger Moth remains a powerful symbol of 1940s military aviation and continues to fly at airshows and historical events around the world.
