Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Manufactured as a wireless trainer in 1941, the Museum aircraft served with the RCAF, then was stored until 1950 when it was selected for preservation. The aircraft was shipped in 1962 to Ottawa and acquired by the Museum in 1964.
Canada: Unknown
Function: Unknown
Technical: In the event that U-boat attacks caused a break in supply of British-made engines to Canada, American-built Menasco engines were installed in some Canadian-built Tiger Moths. This is the major difference between the Menasco and Tiger Moths. Because this engine could drive a large generator, most Menasco Moths were used for radio training. The Menasco engine was not as powerful as the Gypsy engine, resulting in a somewhat reduced performance. This loss of power made the Menasco Moth a less than ideal pilot-training airplane and contributed to the Menasco Moth being used almost exclusively for radio training.
