Introduced into service in 1946, it became the primary training aircraft for many air forces worldwide. It gained its greatest popularity in the United Kingdom as the main trainer for the RAF. It served from the post-World War II period, throughout the Cold War era, up until the 1990s. The Chipmunk was used to train thousands of pilots and served in the RAF for initial flight training and aerobatics. It was also operated by the air forces of Canada, Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, Ireland, and many other countries around the world.
