Miles Magister
The Miles M.14 Magister is a British two-seat monoplane basic trainer aircraft built by the Miles Aircraft for the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Affectionately known as the Maggie, the Magister was based on Miles' civilian Hawk Major and Hawk Trainer and was the first monoplane designed specifically as a trainer for the RAF. As a low-wing monoplane, it was an ideal introduction to the Spitfire and Hurricane for new pilots. Its sister design, the Miles Master was an advanced trainer also built by Phillips & Powis at Woodley.
==Design and development==
The Miles M.14 was designed to meet Air Ministry Specification T.40/36 and was first flown on 20 March 1937 by F.G. Miles and then christened 'Magister'.〔Johnson ''Aeroplane Monthly'' March 1980, pp. 154–155.〕 Based on Miles' Hawk Trainer, the Magister is an open-cockpit, low wing cantilever monoplane of spruce structure covered in plywood.〔 The wing centre section has no dihedral and is of constant section with outer sections having dihedral and tapering towards the tip.〔''Flight'' 12 June 1941, p. h.〕 It has a fixed tailwheel undercarriage with spats on the main wheels.〔 Split flaps are fitted as standard.〔Johnson ''Aeroplane Monthly'' March 1980, p. 154.〕〔Thetford 1957, p. 334.〕 Early Magisters (including the first prototype) suffered a number of accidents when the aircraft could not be recovered from a spin. To solve this problem, the tailplane was raised by , anti-spin strakes fitted to the rear fuselage, and eventually, a new taller rudder. Thus modified, the aircraft became the definitive M.14A.〔Johnson ''Aeroplane Monthly'' March 1980, pp. 155–156.〕
Notwithstanding the relatively large number built, contemporary glues used to assemble the wooden aircraft have not stood the test of time and few survive today.
