The Hornet Moth was a cabin Biplane produced by De Havilland , designed as a trainer and touring aircraft. During World War II the RAF used some as liaison aircraft. The original Hornet Moth was built with tapering wings, but these were found to cause problems, especially when landing in three-point attitude: there was a tendency for the tips to stall, causing embarrassment to the pilot and often damage to the aeroplane. de Havilland offered owners of the DH87A replacement wings of the new squarer shape at a reduced price in exchange for the original wings. IN FICTION An Hornet Moth appears in Ken Follet 's novel Hornet Flight |
