GLENN MILLER DEATH PLANE FOUND!

Band leader’s World War II disappearance solved at last

BIG band leader Glenn Miller vanished without a trace during a 1944 flight in a World War II combat zone — but researchers say they’ve finally solved the mystery and know the location of his downed UC-64 Norseman!

A 71-year-old British sea dog, whose name is being withheld by investigators, says he pulled up the wreckage of the popular U.S. Army Air Force band boss’ aircraft in his nets while fishing in the English Channel 32 years ago.

“He was amazed to see what he had was a small aircraft with World War II markings,” says Ric Gillespie of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR).

“He radioed the Coast Guard, and they said it could be a war grave and to get rid of it — and that is what he did.”

But the man took note of the location, about 30 miles from Dorset. TIGHAR researchers are now hunting for the In the Mood legend’s aircraft, which will unravel the riddle of the trombone king’s death once and for all.

Some investigators insist Miller — who held the rank of captain after enlisting in the Army when America went to war — died in a Paris brothel and his death was covered up to avoid embarrassment. Others claim his plane was accidentally shot down by the Allies — or that he died on a secret mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler!
