Reviews

Vivid and entertaining
TLS
Brilliant... illuminating. One of the best books not just on de Havilland, but on aviation in general, to be published for some time
Pilot Magazine
A wonderfully affecting, highly entertaining, at times elegiac account of a legendary aircraft, and the colourful and courageous men and women who flew her
John Nichol
Norman's thoroughly compelling history... delivers scrapes and soarings in equal, diverting measure
New Statesman
Captain de Havilland's Moth is a joy. Every chapter is chock full of extraordinary people, evocative places and often jaw-dropping adventures. Alexander Norman brings to life a golden era in aviation history in such a vivid and entertaining way... I wish I'd thought of it!
