 Complete De Havilland DH82a tiger moth development & service history
For this adventure his Moth was set on floats, and Chichester had to devise a new technique of astronavigation to find the two tiny islands which were to be his stepping-stones.
The success of the species was such that de Havilland was to some extent hoist with his own petard, and obliged to call everything he designed a Moth.
After the first few Tiger Moths had flown (the name was borrowed from the earlier D.H. 70 racing airplane), it was found that this sweepback had brought the lower wing tips too near the ground, and so to raise them the interplane struts were shortened.

Direct descendants of the original Moth construction were the D.H. 60G Gipsy Moth, powered by de Havilland's own Gipsy engine; the D.H. 60GIII Moth Major with larger engine and the D.H. 60M Moth with steel fuselage structure which was developed into the D.H. 60T Moth Trainer.

 Planet Models 1/48th De Havilland DH85 Leopard Moth
Whereas tubular steel construction had been utilised in the ‘Puss Moth’ the ‘Leopard Moth’ was based on a simple box construction with spruce longerons and a plywood skin.
The ‘Leopard Moth’ was able to carry a pilot plus two passengers and associated luggage more than twice as far as the earlier DH80a.
In planform the ‘Leopard Moth’ was easily distinguishable from the ‘Puss Moth’ by virtue of its tapered wings and in side view by the termination of the undercarriage legs just below the cabin windows as opposed to the top longerons as in the ‘Puss Moth’.
