Owen Miller (Auckland 1907-London 1960) Instrument Bulletin No. 1 - Lancaster Bomber Our Target is Their Success Original poster c. 1943 Printed for HMSO by Multi Machine Plates Ltd for the Ministry of Aircraft Production In the last war our airmen were alone in the sky - dependent only on their wings and their wits.

Born in New Zealand Owen Miller worked his passage to London as a deckhand and worked as an illustrator for J Lyons & Co. In 1942 he began work for the Ministry of Aircraft Production and after the war produced posters for National Savings. Born in Auckland and educated at Wellington College he worked as an artist in New Zealand, working with the Maori peoples and as an illustrator for a Wellington newspaper.
