de Havilland DH.80 Puss Moth
Самолет DH.80 разработали для обеспечения растущего числа пилотов-любителей туристическими и спортивными самолетами с комфортной кабиной. Прототип впервые взлетел 9 сентября 1929 года. Он получил перевернутый мотор de Havilland Gipsy II, существенно улучшивший обзор пилота. Самолет имел фюзеляж с плоскими бортами и фанерной обшивкой. Пилот сидел впереди, два пассажира плечом к плечу - в задней части кабины. Серийные самолеты начали поступать в марте 1930 года под обозначением DH.80A Puss Moth. Они имели фюзеляжи сварной конструкции из стальных труб с полотняной обшивкой. Примечательной особенностью машин этого типа стали обтекатели основных стоек шасси, которые могли поворачиваться поперек воздушного потока для действия в качестве аэродинамических тормозов. Другие изменения включали установку по одной дверце в каждом борту фюзеляжа и улучшенный мотор Gipsy III. Более поздние самолеты оснащали мотором Gipsy Major мощностью 130 л. с. (97 кВт). В Британии изготовили 259 самолетов, последний из них вышел с завода в Стэг-Лэйне в марте 1933 года. Многие из этих машин использовались для дальних перелетов. Еще 25 машин собрала фирма "de Havilland Aircraft of Canada".
В июле 1931 года Эми Джонсон на аэроплане Puss Moth по имени "Jason II" пролетела из Лимпна до Токио за 8 дней 22 часа 35 минут. В 1932 году Джим Моллисон пролетел из Лимпна до Кейптауна за 4 дня 17 часов 19 минут. Второй Puss Moth Моллисона по имени "The Heart's Content" имел дополнительный бензобак на 727 л перед кабиной и иллюминаторы в хвостовой части. Дальность полета машины достигла 5794 км, что позволило пилоту впервые в одиночку пересечь Северную Атлантику с востока на запад. 18 августа 1932 года он стартовал из Портмарнок-Стрэнда возле Дублина и через 31 час 20 минут прилетел в Пенфилд-Ридж, Нью-Брунсвик. 6 февраля 1933 года Моллисон взлетел из Лимпна и взял курс на Бразилию, став первым человеком, пересекшим в одиночку Южную Атлантику.

Flight 1930-02 / Flight
A 1930 MODEL: The latest edition of the Moth III, which should appeal to those pilots who have reached the stage of wishing for something "warm and dry" to fly in.
-
Flight 1930-02 / Flight
Grace and Speed: The Moth III should certainly confute the critics who think that a cabin aircraft is synonymous with lack of speed, but whether the tandem seating arrangement will find favour will be an interesting point to watch.

Flight 1930-04 / Flight
THE "MOTH THREE": Three-quarter rear view.
-
Flight 1930-02 / Flight
Easy access and good view are the two outstanding features of the new de Havilland "Moth III." The position of the fuselage over the ground is very low, and the occupants can step straight into the cabin. Large windows and a transparent roof give an airy impression as well as a good view.

Flight 1930-08 / Flight
An unconventional view of a Puss-Moth. There is little doubt as to how it got its name if it is seen like this.
-
Flight 1930-02 / Flight
An unusual and - as yet - unfamiliar physiognomy: The use of an "inverted'' Gipsy engine in the new de Havilland "Moth III" has resulted in a nose which looks a good deal like a heron, what with the low position of the head and the raised shoulders. The machine is probably one of the most efficient, aerodynamically, produced so far, having a top speed some 20 m.p.h. higher than that of the ordinary Gipsy-Moth.
-
Flight 1930-11 / Flight
1931 MODELS: One of views showing the latest De Havilland developments: The Puss Moth will have balloon tyres "Doughnuts" and wheel brakes as standard, and in addition have the oblique windows in front of the pilot made to open

Everyone was glad to see him walking about again after his accident. He looked very fit, although it will be seen that hoped that he still has to rely on a strut for his "undercarriage."

Matthews, until recently Chief Instructor at the London Aeroplane Club, started from Croydon on September 16 on an attempt to reach Australia in a shorter time than the 15 1/2 days taken by Hinkler in 1928. He is flying a de Havilland "Puss Moth" with Gipsy III engine. Extra tanks have been installed in the cabin, bringing the total petrol capacity up to 100 gallons. This should give the machine a still-air range of approximately 2,000 miles. Capt. Matthews left Croydon at 6.30 a.m. and landed at Belgrade at 4.15 p.m., having averaged 115 m.p.h.

CABIN AEROPLANE FOR THE ROYAL AIR FORCE. - A D.H. "Puss Moth" de luxe high speed communication aeroplane has been purchased by the Air Ministry for trial by the Royal Air Force. We show three views of this machine. Normal service aircraft of the open cockpit variety necessitate the wearing of special flying clothing, but with the all-enclosed cabin of the Puss Moth extra clothing of any sort is rendered superfluous. Although built in the first instance as a purely civil aeroplane, the Puss Moth will perform aerobatic flying when necessary and has a cruising speed of well over 100 m.p.h. It holds three persons and covers 22 miles on a gallon of petrol.
