Aviation and My 58-year Career in Air Traffic Control Cecil Miller

This book is about aviation history, the pilot, and behind the scenes of the air traffic controller. It starts with the Wright brothers and covers the early days of the airplane manufacturers, airplanes, the beginning of airmail and air traffic control, pilot hero's during war, test pilots, the jet age, X (experimental) airplanes, the century series jets, and the first jet airlines, and into outer space.

I write about my air force service, 1955-1959, working in the control tower at Edwards AFB, then with the FAA, working in the towers at Indianapolis, Lansing, Kansas City International, Dallas/ Fort Worth (DFW), the FAA Headquarters in DC and returned to DFW.

After retirement, I was a contractor supporting the FAA needs. I worked at the FAA headquarters and I supported the air traffic control Futuristic Branch.
