1. Майлс М.14 Магистър е британски двуместен двуместен основен тренировъчен самолет, построен от Miles Aircraft за Кралските военновъздушни сили и Fleet Air Arm. Известен като Маги, Magister е базиран на цивилните Hawk Major и Hawk Trainer на Майлс и е първият моноплан, проектиран специално като тренажор за RAF. Като моноплан с ниско крило, това е идеално въведение в Spitfire и Hurricane за нови пилоти. Неговият сестрински дизайн, Miles Master е усъвършенстван треньор, също построен от Phillips & Powis в Woodley.

General Characteristics and Role

The Miles Magister Mk.I was a British two-seat monoplane primary trainer aircraft that played a crucial role in preparing Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots for World War II. It was developed by Miles Aircraft as a low-wing monoplane successor to the biplane De Havilland Tiger Moth, offering a more modern platform that better mimicked the flying characteristics of contemporary frontline fighter aircraft like the Hurricane and Spitfire. Its introduction allowed pilot cadets to transition directly from basic training to advanced aircraft with greater ease. Despite its role as a trainer, early in the war, some Magisters were quickly adapted with flare racks and bomb carriers for anti-invasion patrols.

Powerplant and Performance

  • Engine: 1 x de Havilland Gipsy Major I inverted four-cylinder air-cooled inline engine.
  • Power Output: 130 hp (97 kW).
  • Maximum Speed: 212 km/h (132 mph; 114 kn).
  • Stall Speed: A low stall speed of 71 km/h (44 mph) made it very safe for student pilots.
  • Construction: Built using traditional wooden construction, a hallmark of Miles aircraft designs, which aided rapid production during the war buildup.

Service and Legacy

  • Primary Operator: Royal Air Force (RAF). It was the first monoplane trainer adopted in large numbers by the RAF.
  • Wartime Service: Over 1,200 Magisters were built, forming the backbone of Elementary Flying Training Schools (EFTS) across Britain during the early war years.
  • Civilian Use: After the war, many Magisters were sold to civilian flying clubs and private owners, often reverting to the pre-war civil designation, Miles Hawk Major.
  • Survival: Today, a small number of Magisters remain airworthy, preserved as a piece of training history from the Battle of Britain era.
