Max: I Didn't Get to Know Him Very Well

by A.D. Jones

Max Miller was one of the foremost of the early airmail pilots, having joined the Air Mail Service shortly after the initial May 15, 1918 flights. For two years until his untimely death on September 1, 1920, the story of his life is in reality the story of the development of the transcontinental air mail service. In this book, author A.D. "Don" Jones has written the definitive study of Max's life. Additionally, the two chapters describing Max's involvement in the 1918 "Pathfinder" flights between New York and Chicago are a major contribution to aerophilatelic literature, with more detailed information about the initial flights that led to the eventual transcontinental air transportation of mail than has hitherto been available. 8.5x11", x+131 pp., b&w photographs, documents reproduced in facsimile.
