Readers will be captivated by the immense volume of information; including rare, never before published photos and manuals from the extensive personal collections and logs of DHC pre production test pilots Russ Bannock and George Neal, photos gleaned from the library of DH/Bombardier and archives through out Canada, the UK, Portugal and Australia.

Exploded view drawings, paint and markings, production lists, bibliography, glossary and index round out this fact filled book.

Starting from it’s genesis in the minds of the DHC design team at Downsview in Toronto, the book offers insight into the personnel involved, early development, certification, modification and production.

From here the book moves to de Havilland England where after extensive evaluation the type was adopted by the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, resulting in the decision to start production at Hatfield. This section includes detailed excerpts from the test flying program at Hatfield, cockpit development, allocation of aircraft serving with the Reserve Flying Schools, University Air Squadrons and much more.

Additional sections cover production and service of the type in Portugal and the Chipmunks sizeable contribution to civil aviation in far off Australia.
