De HAVILLAND CANADA
DHC-1 CHIPMUNK
 

The DHC-1 Chipmunk was designed as the successor to the
classic DH82 Tiger Moth. The design was assigned to De
Havillands Canadian subsidiary as Hatfield was fully occupied
with the Comet and other post-war aircraft.

The prototype first flew in 1946 and after evaluation by the RAF
production was initiated in both Canada and England. Eventually
a total of 1291 were built, 1091 in England, 217 in Canada, and 60
under licence in Portugal.

The RAF was the largest user with 735 in service. These were
flown by University Air Squadrons and Volunteer Reserve flying
schools, the type never becoming the standard RAF primary
trainer.

Large numbers were released onto the surplus civil market at
the end of the 1950's, many of which were considerably modified
including horizontally-opposed engines, single-seat versions, etc.

This CD contains six flight manuals for civil and military variants
of the Chipmunk. This CD has been copied from the original flight
manuals and retains any colour pages.
