Komisia de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Mol Je to dvojplošník z 30. rokov 20. rokov, ktorý navrhol Geoffrey de Havilland a bol prevádzkovaný Royal Air Force (RAF) a ďalšími ako hlavný tréner. Tiger Moth zostal v prevádzke s RAF až do nahradenia de Havilland Chipmunk v roku 1952, keď mnohé z nadbytočných lietadiel vstúpili do civilnej prevádzky. Mnoho ďalších krajín používa tiger moth vo vojenských aj civilných aplikáciách a v mnohých krajinách sa stále používa ako rekreačné lietadlo. Stále sa príležitostne používa ako primárne cvičné lietadlo, najmä pre tých pilotov, ktorí chcú získať skúsenosti pred prechodom na iné lietadlá. Mnohé z nich sú teraz zamestnané rôznymi spoločnosťami, ktoré ponúkajú skúsenosti so skúšobnou lekciou. De Havilland Moth klub založený v roku 1975 je teraz združenie vlastníkov, ktoré ponúka vzájomný klub a technickú podporu.

Komisia de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Molis a biplane trainer aircraft that was widely used by the Royal Air Force and other air forces in the British Commonwealth during the 1930s and 1940s. It was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The Tiger Moth has a distinctive appearance with its fabric-covered wooden airframe, open cockpit, fixed landing gear and inverted Gipsy Major engine. It is capable of aerobatics and can be fitted with floats or skis for operation on water or snow. The Tiger Moth was originally developed from the earlier de Havilland DH.60 Moth, which was a successful light aircraft in the 1920s.
Komisia DH.82was designed to meet the specifications of the Air Ministry for a new primary trainer for the RAF. It first flew in 1931 and entered service in 1932. More than 7,000 Tiger Moths were produced in Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. The Tiger Moth was used for basic flight training, navigation, instrument flying, wireless operation, gunnery and night flying. It also served as a liaison and observation aircraft during the Second World War. Many famous pilots learned to fly on the Tiger Moth, including Douglas Bader, Amy Johnson and Charles Lindbergh. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952, when it was replaced by the de Havilland Chipmunk. Some Tiger Moths continued to fly as civilian aircraft until the 1970s. Today, many Tiger Moths are preserved and flown by enthusiasts around the world.
