Summary

Throughout the Second World War, one of the world’s most popular musicians was the American big band leader Glenn Miller. He had a string of hits over a very short period of time, and his music is so synonymous with that period that it can be heard in almost every movie and documentary about the war. However, just before Christmas 1944, just a few months before the war in Europe would be over, Glenn Miller disappeared in a flight over the English Channel.
