ShortlyafterPearlHarbor,he resignedfrom the Navyto enlist in the Army Air Corps as an aviation cadet.

In 1947, many years before America introduced the first computerized reservations system, Mr. Miles recognized the need for a quick reference point-to-point airline guide to facilitate and lower the cost of making airline reservations by airline personnel and travel agents.

Fifteen years later, the Official Airline Guide published it.

As the Civil Aeronautics Board prohibited such fares,he knewthe airlines wouldhave to file for an exemp- tion until the deregulation on pricing became effective. •American Airlines recognized the meritsbehind hisproposal, andwasthe first to obtainCAB approval to publish such fares, and that was the beginning of Super Saver Fares, as they are known today.
