Col. Archie Miller, Former Commander at Camp Greene, Killed In Flying Accident, May 30, 1921

Victim In Accident Was Located Here

Col. Archie D. Miller, U.S.A., who was one of seven officers and men killed in the disastrous aeroplane accident at Indian Head, Md., Saturday afternoon during a terrific wind and electric storm, which drove their planes down, was for some months located at Camp Greene as commander of the aviation forces and motor mechanics there and is well known to many Charlotte people.

The announcement in press dispatches from Washington of his death brought keen regret to numbers of friends whom he made while in Charlotte. Colonel Miller came to Charlotte shortly after the motor mechanic regiments mobilized and remained here some months as camp commander. He lived while he was camp commander in the Dr. A.M. Whisnant residence on East Trade Street. Mrs. Miller and one little child were here with him.

Colonel Miller was transferred from Camp Greene to Mineola, Long Island, where he had charge of the aviation service there for some time. He is a regular army man and a West Pointer. Dr. Wyn Moore of this city, who was a medical officer in the aviation service, was with Colonel Miller there and was a warm personal friend of his.
