Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir concentrates on the two major aspects of Admiral Hamilton's career - in athletics and in naval aviation. He played for the Naval Academy's national championship football team in 1926 and was later coach and athletic director for the Academy. After retirement he was athletic director for the University of Pittsburgh and commissioner of the Pacific Eight Conference. As an aviator, he flew several types of aircraft: torpedo, scout, patrol, and transport. During World War II, he was air officer and executive officer of the famous carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) and then commanded the escort carrier USS Savo Island (CVE-78) at war's end. At the beginning of the war, he combined his two interests while heading the Navy's pre-flight training program, which placed heavy emphasis on athletics.

In 1932-34 he served on board the destroyers Southard (DD-207) and Preble (DD-345).

He was a student at the Navy's Postgraduate School, 1936-38, then received a master's degree in aerology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1939. In 1939-40 Knoll served with Patrol Wing Five.

He commanded the attack transport Menard (APA-201) in 1952 before returning to service in the strategic planning section of OpNav. In 1955 Knoll was commanding officer of the light cruiser Roanoke (CL-145) and from 1955 to 1957 was chief of staff to Commander Seventh Fleet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Min Miller was a gifted storyteller, the kind of individual who could mesmerize an audience as he recounted his adventures. To a degree, that quality has been captured in the oral history that follows. Unfortunately, the reader can't see Admiral Miller's gestures, hear the inflections in his voice, or see the twinkle in his eye. Even so, his love for the Navy--and particularly naval aviation--is manifest in the pages that follow. Miller got his wings only a few years after the Navy's first aircraft carrier, the Langley, was commissioned in the early 1920s. He served in one of the ship's squadrons in the late 1920s. Indicative of the versatility of naval aviators of the era, he flew in battleship and cruiser floatplanes, as well as in flying boat squadrons. But the tours of duty that really set him apart from his contemporaries came in the early 1930s when he was pilot of the tiny Sparrowhawk fighter that operated from flying aircraft carriers. These were the huge rigid airships Akron and Macon. Miller was in the crew of each at the time of her loss, the Akron in 1933 and the Macon in 1935. The oral history includes an engrossing account of the Macon's loss. Another interesting theme is Admiral Miller's long involvement with writing and public relations. In the 1930s he did what were essentially oral history interviews with naval aviation's pioneers and wrote the first overall account of the Navy's entry into the air age. He and his first wife wrote numerous magazine articles, and he was later a driving force in setting up Training Literature in the Bureau of Aeronautics during World War II. This section not only enhanced training within naval aviation but also served as an effective propaganda arm for selling the program. Because of the success of those efforts, Miller was made Pacific Fleet public relations officer in 1944 and greatly improved the Navy-media relationship. That led to a spot promotion to rear admiral far ahead of his contemporaries and the head public relations billet in the Navy. After his retirement from active duty, Admiral Miller did public relations work for TWA, Pan American, the American Petroleum Institute, and Hofstra University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following graduation from the Naval Academy in 1924, Miller spent two years in the crew of the battleship USS California (BB-44) before going to flight training. As an aviator, he initially was in the battleship USS West Virginia (BB-48) and carrier USS Langley (CV-1). He served as a scout plane pilot from the Navy's last two rigid airships, the USS Akron (ZRS-4) and Macon (ZRS-5). His memoir includes a description of the Macon's loss in 1935. After floatplane duty in cruisers, Miller served with Patrol Squadron 16 in Alaska and commanded Patrol Squadron Five in Panama. He subsequently was on the staff of Rear Admiral Arthur Bristol, Commander Support Force, Atlantic Fleet. In 1942-43 Miller headed the Training Literature section of the Bureau of Aeronautics, commanding a talented group of artists, writers, and photographers. After a stint as naval attaché in London, he headed the public relations staff of Admiral Chester Nimitz in the Pacific in 1944-45, then was spot-promoted to rear admiral to serve as the Director of Public Information for the entire Navy. After retirement in 1946, Miller served in public relations capacities for TWA, the American Petroleum Institute, Pan American, and Hofstra University.
