	AH Tiger Moth Review
		Born in the flying frenzy of the 1930’s, the Tiger Moth was the brainchild of Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, an inveterate lover of all things winged, aeroplane to insect.
		It was only logical that de Havilland be given a chance to bid on such a craft, and he quickly jumped into the fray, proposing a variant of his DH.60 for the task.
		After a bit of hacking apart and rebuilding, de Havilland and crew had reshaped the Moth to RAF specs, and the DH.82 Tiger Moth was born.
