The DH.60 Moth is a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into an extremely successful series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The Moth was a two-seat biplane of wooden construction, with a useful feature consisting of folding wings which allowed owners to hangar the aircraft in much smaller spaces.

While de Havilland built the majority of the aircraft, other manufacturers of the DH60 were Morane-Saulnier in France, with 40 built; the Moth Aircraft Corporation in the U.S., with 18 DH60G 161 DH60M built; de Havilland Canada, with 40 built; and 10 built by the Norwegian Army Aircraft Factory in Norway.

Most Gipsy Moths belonged principally to flying clubs, but after the British Prince of Wales purchased a Gipsy Moth for his own private flying, the aircraft became popular private aircraft. In addition the Moth was used for many record flights. The Sir Francis Chichester flew his Gipsy Moth from England to Australia, then on to New Zealand and then across the Pacific to Japan.

Of the aviatrixes, the British pilot Amy Johnson flew her Gipsy Moth 11,000 mi (17,703 km) to Australia in 1930, and Jean Batten used a Gipsy Moth for her flights from England to India and England to Australia. In March 1928 Mary Bailey flew her Moth solo from Croydon, England to Cape Town, South Africa, a trip of three weeks, and returned the following year.

The DH.60 Moth remains a highly popular aircraft. Over 50 are still existance, including some 30+ airworthy in the UK.
