General Characteristics
The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk (often nicknamed “Chippie”) is a tandem two-seat, single-engine primary trainer aircraft. It was the first aircraft designed and built by de Havilland Canada and was intended to replace the venerable **de Havilland Tiger Moth** biplane. The Chipmunk served as the standard basic trainer for the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), and many other air forces from the late 1940s well into the 1990s.
