If ever an aeroplane was set to be a best seller it was the Miles Monarch. Its superfine finish gave it a regal splendour. This was matched by the supreme ease of handling, the robust ness of. the general design, and the miracle of Miles " Glide Control " for slow landing without sensation. It was a three-seat low-wing cantilever mono plane, developed from the Miles Whitney Straight of 1937, with a Gipsy Major I engine giving a normal cruising speed of 130 m.p.h. But for the war, the Miles Monarch would have gone very far indeed—although more may yet be heard of this descendant of a long line of successful light mono plane aircraft. But there was no room on the pro duction lines for civil aeroplanes. More and more Miles Magister primary trainers for the rapidly expanding air programme were being demanded for the R. A.F. and still more of the now-famous Miles Master—fast advanced Monoplane Trainer 'for the Monoplane Pilots of the R.A.F.
