Miles M.38 Messenger is a light, four-seat aircraft developed by Miles Aircraft in response to the British Army's requirements for a modern observation and liaison aircraft. Its characteristic low stall speed and durable construction made it ideal for operation on short and unprepared strips. Specially designed wings with flaps further improved the aircraft’s safety and maneuverability. The Messenger Mk.I variant was widely used by British forces during World War II as a command plane for senior officers as well as for transporting important messages or personnel along frontline positions.

Historically, the Miles Messenger proved to be less popular than its competitor, the Auster, but its durability, reliability, and ease of use earned it great popularity among users. After the war, the aircraft attracted numerous civilian customers who valued it for its comfort and low operating costs.
