Tummelisa Swedish Home defence fighter (DCM)
Author: Wings of Horus Paper Warbirds
Wings of Horus present Digital Card Models' Tummelisa in 1/32 scale.
The first Tummelisas were built in 1919 to replace the aging albatross trainers during the formation of the Flygkompaniet (Swedish Army Aviation Corps).
The aircraft was designed by Henry Kjellson of the Swedish Army Aircraft factory (FVM) at Malmen (near LinkC6ping) and first flown in June 1919. Small, light, and powered by an 80hp Thulin A rotary engine (licence built Le Rhone), it was intended to improve pilot handling skill. I as originally named "Tummeliten" (Little Tom Thumb). However the aircraft was unstable during landings and would often flip onto its back and became more widely known amongst pilots of the type as Tom's female counterpart, "Tummelisa", Initially 16 aircraft were produced between 1919 and 1922. When the Swedish Air Force was created in June 1926, the type was taken over and designated O1 ( O for Ovningsflygplan or advanced trainer 1). The factory was also redesignated Central Flyverkstaden i Malmslatt (CVM). A further thirteen aircraft were produced between 1928 and 1933. The type continued to serve until 1935, and the aircraft is notable as a trainer in that no fatal accidents were recorded in its 15 years of service. Operations were primarily from MalmslC$tt and Ljungbyhed. After retirement all but one of the aircraft were scrapped, and the survivor (1928 built c/n 147 serial 3656) was retained for preservation. It last flew in 1962 and is now in the Swedish Air Force Museum, Malmslatt.Features:
