Waterloo Airplanes Put to Bed for Winter Season
Milo Miller Aero company stored five airplanes in a garage at 410 West Kirth Street, wings removed and fuselages occupying a space under 30 feet wide. Formerly Miller-Scales Aero, Scales sold his share to Miller. Waterloos aviators logged hundreds of summer and fall flights, with Miller predicting broad commercial uses including aerial mail, government mail between Santiago and Valparaiso, forest patrols from Riverside, California, with a 3000 foot balloon lookout, and suburban air deliveries.
