H4586 De Havilland Tiger Moth Manual 1931 - 1945 (all marks). Description:
The de
Havilland Tiger Moth biplane is an iconic and instantly recognisable
aircraft. It is also one of a handful of planes that attracts the widest
possible recognition outside the specialist group. Of nearly 10,000 built,
it is thought that more than 1,000 Tiger Moths still survive over six
decades on, and over half remain airworthy. They are also affordable
classic aircraft at £40-50,000 for an airworthy example. The author
takes a close look at the construction of the Tiger Moth, acquiring and
restoring an example, owning and flying one, and the engineer's view of
keeping it all running and airworthy. |
