William T. Miller Papers
PDF files of William T. Miller’s correspondence and messages relating to the preparation of Amelia Earhart’s first World Flight attempt have been made available on line, courtesy of John W. Davidson, Jr. and family. These PDF files contain scans of the original duplicates (carbon flimsies) compiled when William T. Miller was CAA Superintendent of Airways. The correspondence is between Miller, George Palmer Putnam, and government agencies involved in the coordination and preparation for Earhart's first World Flight attempt. Also included is correspondence following her disappearance during the second World Flight attempt. The original carbon flimsies have been donated to the Smithsonian Institution. There are two file versions, one is sorted chronologically, the second is in the order in which the documents were found. TIGHAR has prepared an index for the chronological file here.
