A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The DH.60 Moth developed as a 1920s two-seat touring and training biplane. Its wooden construction and folding wings suited club and private ownership, allowing the aircraft to occupy less hangar space.

History & design
Clubs, private flying and long journeys
The Gipsy Moth became associated with flying clubs and private owners. The developer's history also recalls long-distance flights: Amy Johnson used one for her 1930 journey to Australia, while Francis Chichester and Jean Batten flew Gipsy Moths on other intercontinental journeys. The DH.60 was also produced outside Britain.
