The Mysterious Disappearance of Glenn Miller

[Granger]

A fairly recent UK TV documentary on Miller's disappearence, gave a very good argument that his 'plane had actually been bombed over the British Channel by a British bomber. I'm not sure whether they were jettisoning their bombs before landing, or bombing a German vessel/U-Boat. As I recollect one of the crewmen was interviewed.

One infantile conspiracy theory says that Miller was a German spy!

Oh no! Not the old "coded messages hidden in music" plot?

[Shangas]

I think the most plausible plot is that British bombers, flying back to England after an aborted bombing-raid, discharged their bombs over the Channel, and accidently hit Mr. Miller's plane, causing it to crash and kill the bandleader. Of all the theories I've heard of, that seems the most likely.

And for those wondering - it's extremely unsafe for an aircraft to land overloaded, which is why the bombs were jettisoned.

[Robert]

Extremely unlucky.
