Charles F. Miller

Description: Photograph of Airman First Class Charles F. Miller sitting at an airfield in front of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber. Raised in Clarksville, Ind., Miller graduated from St. Anthonys School (1945) and Jeffersonville High School (1949). He entered the U.S. Air Force in 1950, and served as a gunner on a B-29 during the Korean War, flying 50 missions from Okinawa to over North Korea. Tragically, after returning to California, Miller died of injuries suffered in an automobile accident in January 1953 when the driver of the car in which he was riding fell asleep at the wheel. Both men were traveling back to Castle Air Force Base, Merced, Calif., from another base where they had received training in the new Boeing B-50 Superfortress bomber.
