A docile, forgiving biplane trainer entering RAF service in 1932, the Tiger Moth became the standard first aircraft for pilots across the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Its gentle handling in normal flight combined with honest stall and spin behaviour made it ideal for weeding out unsuitable trainees before they moved on to operational types, and thousands of wartime RAF, RCAF, RAAF and RNZAF pilots learned to fly on it.
