Work on the development of a light multi-purpose aircraft model De Havilland DH 80 Puss Moth began British aircraft manufacturers in the middle of 20-ies of the last century. At the same time, the new aircraft was to become a very promising aircraft, suitable both for the transport of people on board, and for the transport of small loads. Despite the fact that the De Havilland DH 80 Puss Moth was primarily focused on the commercial sphere of its application, this aircraft was also actively used by private owners, it was mainly predisposed to very high flight characteristics of the aircraft, as well as its low cost .

Despite the fact that the design of De Havilland DH 80 Puss Moth multipurpose aircraft was carried out almost at the dawn of the era of the aircraft industry, the aircraft proved to be very effective in terms of its operational capabilities, which expresses the possibility of its multipurpose use, as well as high-speed flight.

De Havilland DH 80 Puss Moth Enough ineffective component of the aerodynamic design of the aircraft was compensated by using a more powerful propulsion system that actually. It does not result in difficulty in the management of this aircraft and did not cause any complaints from the explants.

In September 1929, the aircraft De Havilland DH 80 Puss Moth first underwent flight tests, which has been very successful, provided the aircraft the opportunity to start serial production of the aircraft. Over the entire period of release, the British aircraft manufacturers 284 aircraft of this model were built, of which today it is known that there is only 22 aircraft.
