5) Moths might be seen as a nuisance, but the De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth was quite popular. During World War II, most Royal Air Force pilots trained in Tiger Moths, including Americans who flew with the Eagle Squadrons before the U.S. entered the war. It is one of a number of models of light aircraft named for moths, in recognition of designer Geoffrey de Havilland’s interest in moths and butterflies.
