"Max Miller's Last Flight"
From a 20"x24" Acrylic on Canvas
Early on the morning of September 1, 1920. Max Miller and his mechanic Gustav Reierson were flying their Junkers JL-6 mail plane enroute to Cleveland when the engine caught fire apparently due to a leaky fuel line. The problem of the JL-6 was reported by pilots on several occasions. The crash occurred near a farm in Morristown, NJ. The New York Times headline read: "Premier Mail Pilot Dies in Flaming Fall. Duty Their Final Thought. Aviators Dropped Letter Bags to Safety as Plane Became a Blazing Meteor" (The JL-6 was an all metal monoplane, way ahead of it's time.)
