Miles Master
The Miles Master was a British two-seat advanced trainer of the Second World War, built by Phillips & Powis Aircraft — the company renamed Miles Aircraft in 1943 — at Woodley, South Marston and Doncaster. Designed to match the performance and handling of the RAF's Spitfire and Hurricane fighters, it first flew on 31 March 1939 and entered service shortly before the war. Production totalled 3,249 aircraft in three marks distinguished chiefly by their engines: the Rolls-Royce Kestrel (Master I), the Bristol Mercury (Master II) and the Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp Junior (Master III). Masters trained pilots at Advanced Flying Units, towed gliders and targets, and served with several Allied air forces; no complete example survives.
