Friday, December 15, 1944, the most popular musician in the world boarded a military airplane in England on an apparently routine flight bound for France.  The airplane took off but never arrived. Since that day, Glenn Miller’s disappearance has been a magnet for speculation. Was Glenn Miller really aboard the airplane? What route did the pilot fly? How or where did the Noorduyn C-64 “Norseman” apparently crash?  Why was Glenn Miller in England and traveling to France?  Did the Eighth Air Force and Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force search for the plane or investigate what happened? Did they cover up the details? Why have all the facts never been revealed?

All the facts are revealed for the first time in Glenn Miller Declassified.

Why Glenn Miller set aside his lucrative entertainment career to join the United States Army Air Forces is a remarkable patriotic story. The encouragement he received from many famous leaders, including Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Henry H. Arnold has never been fully revealed. The  key role of Lt. Col. David Niven as Director of SHAEF Broadcasting and Miller’s close colleague is documented for the first time, anywhere. The admiration and affection of the American people for Glenn Miller remains eclipsed only by his special bond to the British people.  The British public and the people of Europe were inspired by Glenn Miller’s music, which was certainly the soundtrack of America’s “greatest generation.”
