Product 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 GBP40-50,000 for an airworthy example. The authors take 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.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant overview of the Tiger Moth
Steven Slater has done a terrific job in pulling this superb book together in record time. It is an excellent blend of history, maintenance detail and real-life experience. Geoff Collins' photos of the airframe and engine details are crisp and well exposed. If you want to get the bug for restoring/owning a Tiger Moth this is the way to do it!
