Historical Information and Usage

The De Havilland Chipmunk T.10 is a legendary two-seat training aircraft that was developed just after the end of World War II. This model was designed by the Canadian branch of the British de Havilland company for the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air Force as a natural and more modern successor to the Tiger Moth. The Chipmunk made its first flight in 1946, and by 1948 it had become a key element in the training of new pilots. Widely used in the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries, it underwent numerous modernizations over the decades, serving intensively until the 1990s – mainly in the post-war period, the Cold War, and partially in contemporary times.
