About this product
Product Information
This book follows on from Midland's earlier successful book on the De Havilland Tiger Moth and examines the history of the DH60 Moth which was first built in the 1920s and was one of the most significant aircraft built up to that time. In the 1920s the Air Ministry, aware of the need to encourage an interest in flying in order to have a base of potential recruits for the RAF in a time of crisis, produced specifications for an aircraft which could be used by flying clubs which it was subsidising. The offically backed prototypes were not favoured and it was de Havilland's freelance DH.60 Moth which first flew in February 1925 that proved ideal. Five government sponsored light aeroplane clubs began operations with Moths from August 1925 and were soon followed by others which were self funding. The Moth quickly became the ideal private owners' aeroplane. As the efficiency of production increased, engines were improved and the cost of the aircraft dropped. To the DH60 Moth can be directly attributed the beginning of the flying club movement in many parts of the world and the growth of private ownership of light aircraft which is still flourishing today.To at first assemble from parts imported from the United Kingdom and eventually to build Moths, de Havilland established factories in Australia in 1927 followed by Canada, and a number of other countries. Moths were built under licence in France, Sweden, Finland and the USA. They were raced, aerobatted in formation, used by most long-distance pilots of the 1920s and 30s seeking to create records, flown on floats and skis and used on a worldwide basis by Air Forces and government agencies. The successful Gipsy engine was designed specifically for the DH60 Moth in 1927 and the Moth's wooden airframes evolved into metal structures which spawned the Tiger Moth. This book will appeal members of the Moth Club, to the many round the world who have flown or operated the aeroplane and those interested in the history of aviation. The content focuses on the early days of the Moth and its pivotal role with the early flying club days but the story of this successful aircraft is carried through to the present day which sees many examples of this historic and seminal aircraft still taking to the skies.
