This Day in Aviation History
May 22nd, 1946
First flight of the de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk.
 
The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft which was the standard primary trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Air Force and several other air forces through much of the post-Second World War years. The de Havilland Chipmunk was the first postwar aviation project of de Havilland Canada.
 
Today, over 500 DHC-1 Chipmunk airframes remain airworthy with more being rebuilt every year….
