Description

On December 15, 1944, Maj. Alton Glenn Miller, commanding officer of the Army Air Force Band (Special), boarded a plane in England bound for France with Lt. Col. Norman Francis Baessell. Somewhere over the English Channel the plane vanished. No trace of the aircraft or its occupants has ever been found. To this day Miller, Baessell, and the pilot, John Robert Stuart Morgan, are classified as missing in action.

Weaving together cultural and military history, Glenn Miller Declassified tells the story of the musical legend Miller and his military career as commanding officer of the Army Air Force Band during World War II. After a brief assignment to the Army Specialist Corps, Miller was assigned to the Army Air Forces Training Command and soon thereafter to Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, in the UK. Later that year Miller and his band were to be transferred to Paris to expand the Allied Expeditionary Forces Programme, but Miller never made it.

Miller's disappearance resulted in numerous conspiracy theories, especially since much of the information surrounding his military service had been classified, restricted, or, in some cases, lost.

Exhaustive research but exhausting listen

It is clear that the author has touched quite possibly every document and memo ever sent following the disappearance of Glen Miller and it unfortunately reads like that. It’s as if someone is reading document after document from the archives, word for word, including every acronym and number. I believe it is probably the most thorough book on Miller so far, but it is quite apparent that the military records make up most of the narrative, leaving it quite cold and exhausting to listen to. I would recommend listening to the final 4-5 chapters if you are only interested in the possible answer to the question of “what happened to Glen Miller”.
