The de Havilland Tiger Moth first flew in 1931, developed from the DH.60 Moth and designed by Geoffrey de Havilland as a basic training aircraft for the Royal Air Force. Powered by the de Havilland Gipsy Major, a four-cylinder inverted inline engine, it was designed with straightforward handling, structural simplicity, and low maintenance in mind. Throughout the Second World War, the Tiger Moth was used to train thousands of pilots, providing essential elementary flight instruction before progre

The iconic biplane from Out of Africa (1985), a 1929 De Havilland Gipsy Moth, was actually flown by the pilot who owned it. In 2013, the plane was sold at an auction for over $200,000, specifically cited for its role in the film's visual legacy.
