| 14219 | 1973.0042.001 | Airplane | de Havilland Canada DHC-1B2 Chipmunk 2 | 208-246 | de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd. | Canada | Ontario | Downsview | 1 | When the RCAF began to expand in the late 1940s both elementary and advanced pilot-training depended upon the North American Harvard. It was soon recognized that a simpler aircraft was required for elementary pilot-training. The Chipmunk was chosen for this role. Many of the 217 Chipmunks made in Canada went to the RCAF but Canadian Chipmunks were also sent to Egypt Lebanon and Thailand. Britain made 1 000 Chipmunks and Portugal 66 under licence. The Chipmunk was the first Canadian-designed aircraft to be made abroad under licence. Some civilian Chipmunks have been provided with more powerful engines to enhance their aerobatic capability and have been used in international aerobatic competitions. | Aviation | Aircraft | metal->;synthetic->;resin->rubber | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/1973.0042.001.aa.cs.png | http://source.techno-science.ca/artifacts-artefacts/images/1973.0042.001.aa.cs.thumb.png |
