GLENN MILLER ARCHIVE TO RELEASE DEFINITIVE REPORT ABOUT GLENN MILLER
The University of Colorado Glenn Miller Archive will release a definitive report regarding the disappearance of Major Alton Glenn Miller on December 15, 1944, aboard a United States Army Air Force UC-64A aircraft, while en-route from RAF Twinwood Farm airfield to AAF Station A-42, Villacoublay, France. This announcement is of historic significance and interest, and will therefore be released in an appropriately formal manner.
The Glenn Miller Archive has examined thousands of documents, data, maps, photographs, reports and other materials in the preparation of the report, with the complete cooperation of all relevant government agencies in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The Glenn Miller Archive has invested hundreds of hours of work, at considerable expense, to establish the facts beyond any reasonable doubt.
At the joint announcements, the Glenn Miller Archive will present a comprehensive study, which should precisely and conclusively resolve any outstanding questions about the events of December 15, 1944, including the unambiguous findings of the original United States 8th Army Air Force January 1945 Court of Inquiry.
The announcement will be made during the summer of 2011, on a date to be announced shortly, after it is presented to the Miller family, United States Air Force, Royal Air Force and HRH Elizabeth II.
There will be simultaneous media presentations in both the United States and the United Kingdom, which recognizes the international significance of the report. The Glenn Miller Archive will be joined by representatives of the Miller family, including his son Steven Miller and nephew John Miller; the Imperial War Museum, Royal Air Force, United States Air Force, United States Army and other officials.
Joint announcements will be conducted at the "Wings over the Rockies" History Center at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado and at the Twinwood Farm Glenn Miller Museum and historic site, Bedfordshire, England. The "Wings over the Rockies" site is the hangar where the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" scene from the film "The Glenn Miller Story" was filmed by Universal International in 1953.
