EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the pilots cockpit of a Tiger Moth aircraft, specifically equipped for blind flying. Dating back to circa 1936-1937, this De Havilland DH82 Tiger Moth biplane was designed by the renowned Geoffrey de Havilland (1882-1965). The Tiger Moth played a significant role in aviation history as it remained in service with the Royal Air Force until it was eventually replaced by the De Havilland Chipmunk in 1952. The image, featured in "Wonders of World Aviation, Vol. 1" by Clarence Winchester and published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. , London around 1937, offers a glimpse into the intricate instrument panel and controls within the cockpit. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this photograph transports us back to an era when aviation technology was rapidly advancing. From gauges measuring altitude and airspeed to a joystick that guided these magnificent machines through the skies, every element within this cockpit tells a story of innovation and courage. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich aviation heritage during the thirties and highlights Geoffrey de Havilland's contribution to flight. As we admire this remarkable print from Heritage Images collection curated by Clarence Winchester himself (aka Print Collector29), let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also acknowledge those brave pilots who fearlessly took control of these incredible flying machines during one of humanity's most transformative centuries - the twentieth century.
