I'm researching for a series of Glenn Miller paintings and I don't doubt that what he thinks might have happened - he believes it - trouble is everyone else with a theory believes their own story too. Some are convincing. But on this day (15th Dec. 44) cloudbase was so low (1,200ft - 2,000ft)that he would have seen clearly the star and bars on the silver (not green) Noorduyn Norseman that took off from Twinwood, Bedfordshire, UK with Morgan, Baessell and Miller aboard. Feel free to msg me.

The way I understand it C.B. was operating a computer control for the guns getting his information from the radar station at Dover. He was in a trailer. The series sounds interesting.

Just out of interest, have you seen the 2002 documentary "Glenn Miller's Last Flight"? It tells the story well, and covers not only the background of Miller's loss, but also the search projects for Miller, starting 1989 through to 90's, again in 2001. Regarding the "cover-up", no-one could seriously believe that in the middle of a World War, a huge conspiracy was hatched to murder Miller because a general preferred traditional marching music to Miller's?! John McEnroe's famous quote applies!

I was the News/Program director of radio station KOCY in Oklahoma City in 1970 when I interviewed the president of a musical instrument company. He told me he helped load Glenn Miller's plane with musical instruments for the trip across the channel and that the plane was accidently shot down by British anti-aircraft fire. I recorded the interview with him and wrote the story. I aired the story on our station and called NBC..they took the feed but never used it on the network....

You should have done a bit more research on the subject Glenn Miller (GLENN) was fronting his band touring the American and British bases up to the time he left to fly to France on the 15th December 1944. This could have saved you a lot of heartache.

@GeorgeVreelandHill Dymchurch- 10 miles off. that where he was last seen by 2 people on the cliff tops.

No one really knows what happened to Glenn Miller.

I believe that his plane went down in the English Channel.

Miller's plane was flying over a part of the water that was being used to drop bombs.

The reason for dropping bombs in the water was that the planes could not have bombs in them when they landed.

Thus, one hit Glenn's plane.

What actually happened to him? I have always LOVED the music, never done any research to him.
