A Pioneer of Long-Distance Flights

The de Havilland Puss Moth represented a massive leap forward at the turn of the 1920s and 30s. It offered the then-unprecedented comfort of a fully enclosed and heated cabin for up to three people. Thanks to its excellent aerodynamics and the incredibly reliable Gipsy III engine, it could cover vast distances. It went down in history thanks to famous aviators—pilots like Jim Mollison, Amy Johnson, and Bert Hinkler flew it. They used it to break records on perilous routes between England, Australia, South Africa, and South America.

Historical Accuracy by Oxford

For lovers of interwar civil aviation, the British manufacturer Oxford brings a beautiful and historically accurate model in 1:72 scale. The piece in our selection captures the specific Canadian-registered machine (CF-APK) in which the famous Australian pilot Bert Hinkler became the first person to fly solo across the South Atlantic from east to west. The combination of a heavy die-cast metal fuselage with fine plastic details on the landing gear and struts ensures that this machine with a romantic traveling soul will stand out in any collection.
