Abstract
I Feel highly honoured at having been asked to deliver this inaugural lecture as a prelude to the bi-annual series of Memorial Lectures on the development of Civil Aviation in South Africa. This lecture will be devoted to the man—Major Allister Macintosh Miller. Much has come about in the field of Civil Aviation since the days I am going to speak about. Space and time have been telescoped. Colossal strides have been made. In this hall tonight I see a number of persons who, like myself, are able to make the comparison between the civil aircraft of vintage 1919 and the civil aircraft of today.
