Captain Kevin Miller, USN (Ret.), is a 24-year veteran of the U.S. Navy and a former tactical naval aviator who operationally flew the F/A-18C Hornet and A-7E Corsair II. He is the author of the Raven One trilogy of contemporary carrier aviation fiction, and in June 2020 he published his long-awaited historical novel, The Silver Waterfall, which went on to win five writing awards, including the 2023 CIBA Hemingway Award for excellence in 20th Century Wartime Fiction.
