Inn owner Frank Miller and his
family were very interested in
airplanes. They
became friends with many of the
army pilots from March Field. The
family loved to travel on airplanes,
including on trips to South America
and Europe. There
were special places in the Mission
Inn for fliers, including one
room called the “Pilots’ Roost.”
Miller’s family decorated the
room with photographs of airplanes. Since
their friends knew they liked
airplanes, they sent to them objects
related to flying. Objects
in the collections include a airplane
propeller, posters advertising
passenger flight, gloves worn
by a pilot, and a bottle of oil
from an airship.
