Miles M.20
The Miles M.20 was a Second World War fighter developed by Miles Aircraft in 1940. Designed as a simple and quick-to-build 'emergency fighter' alternative to the Royal Air Force's Spitfires and Hurricanes should their production get disrupted by bombing. In the event due to dispersal of manufacturing the Luftwaffe's bombing of the Spitfire and Hurricane factories did not seriously affect production and so the M.20 proved unnecessary and was cancelled.
Made by Miles Aircraft.
It is the successor of the Miles Master .
