"The initial M.14 was followed by the definitive Miles M.14A Magister I with a taller rudder, deeper rear fuselage and, eventually, anti-spin strakes on rear fuselage." I'm not aware of any difference in the depth of the fuselage between the M.14 and the M.14A. |

Is the number built 1,393 or 1,203? Drutt 11:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Neither, the actual total was 1,303 (a typo changed the "0" to a "9"). I have amended the passageto read: "Production of the Magister continued until 1941 by which time 1,203 had been built by Miles and an additional 100 were built under licence in Turkey." FWIWBzuk 13:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC).
