The drive in the basic version was provided by a single de Havilland Gipsy Major 1C engine with 145 HP. The flight of the prototype took place in 1946, and serial production continued in the years 1947-1956, ending with the production of about 1,300 copies of this aircraft. The machine did not have a permanent armament.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe DHC-1 Chipmunk was created in response to the demand of the Canadian Air Force for a modern, monoplane, training plane, intended to replace the line of Tiger Moth machines that were already obsolete after 1945. Despite short research and development works, a very successful machine was created, with high maneuverability, capable of performing simple aerobatics and highly reliable. In Canadian aviation it meant a qualitative leap in comparison with Tiger Moth planes! Several versions of this aircraft were created in the course of serial production. The first mass-produced version was the DHC-1A-1 or Chipmunk T.1. The DHC-1B-1 and DHC-1B-2 versions adapted to air shows were also created. The license for DHC-1 was also purchased by Great Britain, where the machines were manufactured under the name Chipmunk. DHC-1 planes were also sold to many countries. e.g. Belgium, Burma, Egypt, Israel and Portugal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43702895083697,"sku":"AIR04105","price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/0886\/6225\/files\/40827_rd.jpg?v=1712616928","url":"https:\/\/modellersden.myshopify.com\/products\/de-havilland-chipmunk-t-10-1-48","provider":"The Modellers Den","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
