The de Havilland DH.71 Tiger Moth was a single-seat monoplane, designed to research high-speed flight and test replacement engines for the Cirrus Engine. The plane was designed around its test pilot, Hubert Broad, to make it as streamlined as possible.

In August 1927 Broad flew a 100 km closed circuit record of 300.09 km/h. Five days later he flew to 5849 m (19191 ft) without oxygen in an attempt to break the category record.

In 1930 the first DH.71 crashed in an air race in Australia. The second airframe was destroyed in an air raid in October 1940.
