The Glenn Miller Mystery

Just after D-Day, America's favourite uniformed band-leader took off from a fog-bound British airfield on his way to Normandy. According to the official version of events, his plane never arrived. However, a closer inspection of the details reveals that his co-passenger on the trip may have been involved in black market trading in certain medical supplies. The official records show that no aircraft took off from that particular airfield on the day in question. Was he on another aircraft and was he subsequently sighted in Paris? Was his death nothing whatever to do with an air accident?
