The long-awaited fourth volume of the Air-Britain's history of Miles Aircraft is now available and follows on from Miles Aircraft - The Post-war Years. This book starts with a brief summary of the events of 1947 and 1948 that lead up to the demise of Miles Aircraft Ltd. It goes on to tell the story of what subsequently happened to the Miles brothers and how they recovered from their loss and carried on with their future accomplishments.
The Miles brothers, their friends and associates were embittered by what had happened and were frustrated by having to see what was being done to their once thriving business. However, not to be beaten, on 4 December 1948, F G Miles formed a new company, F G Miles Limited, at Redhill Aerodrome, Surrey and this, after he moved it to Shoreham in 1952-53, was gradually developed into The Miles Group of Companies. These, together with other companies formed by his brother George, are all detailed in this, the last volume in the series.
The book covers a plethora of projects as well as physical products such as the M.75 Aries, M.77 Sparrowjet, M.100 Student and the HDM.105 along with assistance given on the Wallis autogyro and the Beagle-Miles M.218. There are also separate chapters on the SE.5a and Boxkite replicas made for film work.
