Built as a successor to the Puss Moth, the Leopard
Moth was constructed of wood rather than the steel tube of the earlier
aircraft. The use of timber in the construction meant that the aircraft
could be sold at a lower price than the Puss Moth and ensured de
Havillands a good production run. A number were used during the war for
communications duties. A small number remain airworthy.
