Book excerpt: Following graduation from the Naval Academy in 1924, Miller spent two years in the crew of the battleship USS California (BB-44) before going to flight training. As an aviator, he initially was in the battleship USS West Virginia (BB-48) and carrier USS Langley (CV-1). He served as a scout plane pilot from the Navy's last two rigid airships, the USS Akron (ZRS-4) and Macon (ZRS-5). His memoir includes a description of the Macon's loss in 1935. After floatplane duty in cruisers, Miller served with Patrol Squadron 16 in Alaska and commanded Patrol Squadron Five in Panama. He subsequently was on the staff of Rear Admiral Arthur Bristol, Commander Support Force, Atlantic Fleet. In 1942-43 Miller headed the Training Literature section of the Bureau of Aeronautics, commanding a talented group of artists, writers, and photographers. After a stint as naval attaché in London, he headed the public relations staff of Admiral Chester Nimitz in the Pacific in 1944-45, then was spot-promoted to rear admiral to serve as the Director of Public Information for the entire Navy. After retirement in 1946, Miller served in public relations capacities for TWA, the American Petroleum Institute, Pan American, and Hofstra University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to get into naval aviation, Admiral Miller took a long route. He enlisted in the Navy in 1936 and served in the fleet for two years before getting an appointment to the Naval Academy, from which he was graduated in late 1941. He then spent two years of wartime duty in the light cruiser USS Richmond (CL-9) before he could go to flight training. He didn't get an opportunity for wartime air combat. After the war, he went to postgraduate school at Stanford University and continued his flying career. Throughout his aviation experiences, he placed particular emphasis on night-time flight operations. During the Korean War, he served on the staff of Rear Admiral E. C. Ewen, Commander Task Force 77, and then commanded a fighter squadron. During a mid-1950s tour in the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Miller was instrumental in the installation of computers and reorganizing the distribution of enlisted personnel. After commanding a carrier air group, he was sent to Omaha, Nebraska, to work with the Air Force in joint strategic target planning. In the early 1960s, he commanded the ammunition ship USS Wrangell (AE-12) and the attack aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42). In discussing the latter, he stresses Mediterranean operations and the role of the commanding officer as leader. The concluding volume picks up his story when he was serving as aide to the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Horacio Rivero, during which time he indoctrinated the admiral in naval aviation. In his next duty, as Director, Aviation Plans Division in OpNav, Miller played a role in the knockdown of the controversial F-111B program. He also pushed for the purchase of RA-5 reconnaissance aircraft, a decision he subsequently came to regret. He concedes he was given little role in the Vietnam War but did participate in a satisfying electronic silence naval exercise off Korea. Following duty as Assistant DCNO (Air), he became Commander Second Fleet and observed what he felt were the negative effects of Z-grams. Miller considers his Second Fleet duty to have been perfect preparation for his subsequent tour as Commander Sixth Fleet. Facets covered from this service were dealings with the Soviet ships in the Mediterranean, racial tensions, and the deterioration of discipline and appearance among the fleet's sailors. Miller sought to reverse the trend resulting from Z-grams and says he considered the possibility Admiral Zumwalt would fire him for his efforts. In his final tour, Admiral Miller was Deputy Director of the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff in Omaha, and he made it a project to familiarize U.S. civilian and military leaders with operational plans for nuclear war. Throughout his narrative, Miller's strong leadership style is evident, and he offers opinions on the application and failure of leadership skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Min Miller was a gifted storyteller, the kind of individual who could mesmerize an audience as he recounted his adventures. To a degree, that quality has been captured in the oral history that follows. Unfortunately, the reader can't see Admiral Miller's gestures, hear the inflections in his voice, or see the twinkle in his eye. Even so, his love for the Navy--and particularly naval aviation--is manifest in the pages that follow. Miller got his wings only a few years after the Navy's first aircraft carrier, the Langley, was commissioned in the early 1920s. He served in one of the ship's squadrons in the late 1920s. Indicative of the versatility of naval aviators of the era, he flew in battleship and cruiser floatplanes, as well as in flying boat squadrons. But the tours of duty that really set him apart from his contemporaries came in the early 1930s when he was pilot of the tiny Sparrowhawk fighter that operated from flying aircraft carriers. These were the huge rigid airships Akron and Macon. Miller was in the crew of each at the time of her loss, the Akron in 1933 and the Macon in 1935. The oral history includes an engrossing account of the Macon's loss. Another interesting theme is Admiral Miller's long involvement with writing and public relations. In the 1930s he did what were essentially oral history interviews with naval aviation's pioneers and wrote the first overall account of the Navy's entry into the air age. He and his first wife wrote numerous magazine articles, and he was later a driving force in setting up Training Literature in the Bureau of Aeronautics during World War II. This section not only enhanced training within naval aviation but also served as an effective propaganda arm for selling the program. Because of the success of those efforts, Miller was made Pacific Fleet public relations officer in 1944 and greatly improved the Navy-media relationship. That led to a spot promotion to rear admiral far ahead of his contemporaries and the head public relations billet in the Navy. After his retirement from active duty, Admiral Miller did public relations work for TWA, Pan American, the American Petroleum Institute, and Hofstra University.
