Leland W. Miller graduated from George Washington University with a BSE, and from Harvard with a MBA. He joined the Army Air Corps in 1917, and was one of the six flyers to make the first Central American flight from Panama to the Mexican border, making stops in all Central American countries. Miller also gained renown for his expertise in aerial photography and served with the US Army Air Corps, 9th Aero Squadron and, later, as Commanding Officer of the 12th Photographic Section at France Field, Canal Zone. Miller retired from the Air Force as a Brigadier General in 1946, and went on to be Vice President of Finance for Northeast Airlines in 1947, and Vice President of Finance for Convair, 1948-1953.
