De HAVILLAND CANADA DHC-1 CHIPMUNK

$9.95

Titles: De Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk No’s 1 to 3

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.

We offer three titles for the Chipmunk, which includes pilots manuals for civil and military models including the British and Canadian variants, along with an early maintenance manual and manufacturer’s brochure. Each title is US$9.95. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
