More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane is an iconic and instantly recognisable aircraft. It is also one of a handful of planes that attracts the widest possible recognition outside the specialist group. Of nearly 10,000 built, it is thought that more than 1,000 Tiger Moths still survive over six decades on, and over half remain airworthy. They are also affordable classic aircraft at GBP40-50,000 for an airworthy example. The authors take a close look at the construction of the Tiger Moth, acquiring and restoring an example, owning and flying one, and the engineer's view of keeping it all running and airworthy.
About the Author
Stephen Slater is a motorsports writer and broadcaster, private pilot and former owner of a part-share in a Tiger Moth, and is currently restoring a Tiger Moth-based WW1 film replica aeroplane.

Format:Hardcover
Written and illustrated by by those who love, care for, and care about this beautiful aeroplane. A detailed insight into the Tiger Moth with tremendous coloured and black and white photographs, informed and sometimes humorous text and all on excellent quality paper. Much, much more than another Haynes Manual. It's a bargain and thoroughly enjoyable. A great buy.

Steven Slater has done a terrific job in pulling this superb book together in record time. It is an excellent blend of history, maintenance detail and real-life experience. Geoff Collins' photos of the airframe and engine details are crisp and well exposed. If you want to get the bug for restoring/owning a Tiger Moth this is the way to do it!
