An antique the day it was born, old man de Havilland's line of Moths goes clear back to the 1920s, a time in which they were on a par with their peers. However, as their peers advanced, the Moths continued to come from the cocoons with only minor mutations. Maybe a cowl line here, an engine mod there, but no sweeping design change. It's a fact that, other than its tubing fuselage (rather than wood), almost all of the structural aspects of the Tiger Moth are identical with the Gypsy and other Moths of a decade before.
