gipsy moth IV
Good question.The Gypsy Moth was a type of moth that is common to England. The de Havilland DH 60 was first called simply as a "Moth". Maybe it was named this because its wings could be folded alongside the fuselage.In 1928 when the new de Havilland Gipsy I engine was installed did the airplane become the "Gypsy Moth".Actually, the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, has never been a common moth in England. It isn't clear to me if this question is about the moth or the airplane...
