Glenn Miller was the most popular bandleader and musician of the big band era of American popular music. At the height of his popularity in 1942, he famously enlisted in the armed forces. As an officer in the Army Air Forces Training Command, Miller served as director of bands and conductor of his own elite radio production unit and concert orchestra. In June 1944, Miller and his personnel transferred to the United Kingdom. There, assigned to the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, they broadcast daily and made hundreds of appearances. On December 15, 1944, traveling ahead of his unit to prepare broadcasting facilities in Paris, the airplane with Miller aboard as a passenger disappeared. "Glenn Miller Declassified" is the true story of what actually tragically happened to Major Miller on that fateful day. He had homes in Tenafly, New Jersey, and Monrovia, California.
