Historical description of the D.H.60 Genet Moth aircraft

The de Havilland D.H.60 Genet Moth is a variant of the iconic biplane design developed in the UK at the end of the 1920s. The aircraft was equipped with a seven-cylinder Armstrong Siddeley Genet engine, significantly improving the performance of this light machine. This enabled its use as a trainer, sports, and recreational aircraft. The design was characterized by high reliability and ease of piloting. D.H.60 Genet Moth aircraft were widely used by the air forces of the United Kingdom, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and several Commonwealth countries.
