The Harmons – A Family Legacy of Flight and Service to Country
The Harmon family has built a remarkable legacy of aviation and service spanning over a century, beginning with Lt. Ernest E. Harmon’s historic ‘Round-the-Rim’ flight in 1919. From WASP pilot Elaine Harmon’s contributions to women’s military aviation to her granddaughter Erin Miller’s advocacy for WASP recognition at Arlington National Cemetery, their dedication to flight and country has continued across generations. Today, Erin carries on the family tradition as a pilot, ensuring that the Harmon legacy soars into the future.
