Glenn Miller

[kallinge17]

Jag var nyligen på en julkonsert med Glenn Millermusik. Mellan vilka orter skulle GM flyga 15 dec 44 och vilket flygplan användes? Hur många var med på planet?

[Fredric Lagerquist]

Flygplanet som Glenn Miller försvann i var en Noorduyn Norseman, USAAF serial 44-70285. Man startade från Twinwood, Bedfordshire, med första destination Paris/Villacoublay. Sedan var det meningen att flyga vidare till Bordeaux...

Being a Glen Miller fan I have quite a few books covering his life, his music, and his disappearance. One of these books suggests that Glen Miller’s Norseman disappeared over an area where the British bombers, returning home and before landing, dropped the bombs they failed to release over the designated targets. In other words, the Norseman was hit by a bomb disposed of by some British bomber. It sounds a bit of a chance in a million but impossible things like that have happened before.

[Kenneth Johansson]

Considering the fact that the bombers were dumping thousands upon thousands of incendiaries and not neccessary only iron bombs in this
no-fly-zone in the channel, the chances were perhaps not so small that something would hit you if you flew where you shouldn't.

Googlar man på "Glenn Miller" och "Roy Nesbit" (som forskat i försvinnandet) får man drygt 200 träff, bl a http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2001/dec/1 ... s.research
