About the Dhc-1

The De Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a single-engine, tandem two-seat fixed-wing aircraft built in Canada to serve as a primary trainer. It suits military training roles and later private operators interested in aerobatics, featuring a low-wing layout with conventional tailwheel landing gear.

Created as a successor to a well-known biplane trainer, this aircraft represented its maker's initial post-conflict aviation undertaking. Numerous examples were assembled overseas under manufacturing agreements alongside domestic output. Military services eventually retired their fleets, though a substantial number continue flying in civilian hands worldwide.
