About the de Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth

The de Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth is the biplane that democratized British aviation in the late 1920s and early 1930s, transforming flying from an elite pursuit into an accessible sport. Introduced in 1925 and powered by the revolutionary de Havilland Gipsy inline engine from 1928 onward, the Moth became the world's most popular light aircraft of its era, with over 600 built and exported to more than 30 countries. Its simple wood-and-fabric construction, docile handling, and affordable price made it the trainer of choice for the nascent RAF Reserve and countless civilian flying clubs across the British Empire.

Amy Johnson flew a Gipsy Moth named Jason to Australia in 1930, and Francis Chichester used one to complete the first solo flight from New Zealand to Australia, cementing the type's reputation for long-distance reliability despite its modest 100-horsepower engine and 95-knot cruise speed. Today the DH.60 remains a cherished vintage type, with dozens of airworthy examples preserved by collectors and museums. Its open-cockpit charm and gentle stall characteristics around 40 knots continue to attract pilots seeking an authentic Golden Age flying experience.
