Designed and built by Air Fouga as the first jet
trainer for the French Air Force, the Magister was also used as a light
attack aircraft by Israel and Eire. Other countries to operate the
Magister included Germany, Belgium and Finland. Included in the total of
916 built were examples built under licence in Germany, Israel and
Finland. A more powerful variant, the CM.170 Super Magister V1 was
powered by 2x 1058lb.s.t.(4.7kN) Turbomecas. The type was manufactured
by Potez from 1958 and subsequently by Aerospatiale. Another version was
the CM.175 Zephyr(32 built) which was developed for the French Navy.
Some Magisters saw action in the ground attack role during the Six Day
War in 1967. A small number are currently flying in civil markings.
