de Havilland Tiger Moth Trainer

The de Havilland Tiger Moth was a twin-seat, dual-control biplane used as an initial pilot trainer by the British and Canadians. As such, it was excellent at it's job, easy to fly, agile and responsive to the controls. Many pilots before and during WWII learned to fly on the Tiger Moth. It first flew in 1932 and was withdrawn from British military service in 1947.
