Cecil Miller Publishes the Story of His Life as an Air Traffic Controller

Cecil Miller, a retired air traffic controller, independently published his memoir “Aviation & Air Traffic Control” (2018).
 
Plenty of books have been written about flying and traveling on a plane, and pilots and flight attendants have been portrayed in various media. However, little has been said or written about air traffic controllers, whose job is to maintain the flow of aircraft in and out of airports and in flight.
 
“There are not many books about air traffic control and most people are not aware of their duties,” said Miller, who wrote “Aviation & Air Traffic Control” because he believes he has a good story to tell and wants to share it. The book, according to him, is “about the controller, pilot, and aviation.”
 
The author joined the aviation industry after high school in 1955. Other than being an air traffic controller, he had also worked as a team supervisor and contractor (requirements specialist).
 
“I started my book project to tell my story about the 58 years I spent in air traffic control,” said Miller. “It was very obvious my story is about history and a story that most people know nothing or very little about the role of the controller.”
 
“Aviation & Air Traffic Control” should delight not only retired aviation professionals but also globetrotters and aspirants in the aviation industry.

Author Bio
 
Cecil Miller was born on December 8, 1937 in a farmhouse in Indiana. He had three siblings and was the youngest member of the household. He can still recall a few memories of home. He remembers spending time on a creek that runs along the property line. At age five, he went to school. His oldest Brother, Joed, helped him tie his shoes and eventually taught him how to do it. They walked a graveled path to a culvert and he would practice tying his shoelaces underneath it. When World War II broke out, he could still recall airplanes flying in formation and the frequent blackouts. His father was worried that the draft board may enlist him because they were only tenant farmers. The rest of Cecil’s story can be read in his book. Throughout the text of his book, he used the male gender but according to him, the person on either side of the mic-to-mic communications may be female because, in aviation, there is no gender differentiation.
