This is a partial sheet of stamps depicting two different airplanes. The first is a Canadair CL-41 and the second is a de Havilland Tiger Moth. There are 12 Tiger Moths and 13 CL-41s for a total of 25 stamps. The postage is 17 cents. History Fact (CL-41): In 1958 Canadair Limited of Montreal decided to enter the jet training aircraft market with a private venture - the CL-41 Tutor basic jet trainer, the first aircraft of wholly original Canadair design. The design incorporated the views of RCAF pilots and service engineers who had vast experience under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The merits of the aircraft led to a decision by the government to purchase the CL-41 trainer in quantity for the RCAF. Between 1960-68, 212 Tutors were built by Canadair. Considerably more powerful than any other trainer in its class, the Tutor was well suited for adaptation to military use in ground attack duties. In Canada the CL-41 is still in service for basic training and is flown by the "Snowbirds" acrobatic team. Robert Bradford painted the illustration, and graphic designer Jacques Charette developed the format and typography for the stamp. The stamp depict a Canadair CL-41 Tutor in the finish of aircraft flown by the "Snowbirds". Canada Post Corporation. [Postage Stamp Press Release], 1981. History Fact (Tiger Moth): Developed in Britain, the Tiger Moth elementary trainer first flew in 1931. De Havilland Canada built approximately 1, 500 Tiger Moths at their Toronto plant between 1937 and 1942, most of which were specially modified for Canadian conditions. The RCAF first used the Canadian model of the Tiger Moth for elementary pilot training in 1938. During the Second World War, thousands of pilots were trained on this aircraft at the Elementary Flying Training Schools operated under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Pilots remember the Tiger Moth as a pleasant aircraft to fly and one which was exceptionally responsive to the controls. Robert Bradford painted the illustration, and graphic designer Jacques Charette developed the format and typography for the stamp. The stamp depict a de Havilland DH-82C Tiger Moth in Second World War trainer-yellow finish flying over Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Canada Post Corporation. [Postage Stamp Press Release], 1981. |
