As far as I know, only Canadian built Tiger Moths left the factory with brakes, but some were later fitted with a brake system similar to the chipmunk, and a tailwheel in place of the skid.

Smarter conversions also had the main undercarriage geometry altered to move the mainwheels forward a bit, (as did the Canadian ones) to try to stop people tipping them onto their noses.
