"An excellent historical detective story that brings to life a small period of time that changed the course of the music world and once and forever lays to rest all the silly theories."--Edward F. Polic, historian and author of the definitive Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band discography, "Sustineo Alas / I Sustain the Wings", "An excellent historical detective story that brings to life that small period of time that changed the course of the music world and once and forever lays to rest all the silly theories."--Edward F. Polic, historian and author of the definitive Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band discography, "Sustineo Alas / I Sustain the Wings", "An excellent historical detective story that brings to life a small period of time that changed the course of the music world and once and forever lays to rest all the silly theories."--Edward F. Polic, historian and author of the definitive Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band discography, "Sustineo Alas / I Sustain the Wings", " Glenn Miller Declassified is a remarkable feat of historical investigation, technical analysis, and cultural retrospective. Meticulously researched, the author provides the most compelling argument yet of what happened to one of America's most influential musical figures."--Col. Matthew M. Hurley, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), and former USAF and division chief, ISR Doctrine and Policy  , "This is an important book about a significant chapter in the life of Glenn Miller, one of the true giants of American popular music."--Joe Lang, NJ Jazz Society, "Spragg debunks a variety of conspiracy theories on Miller's disappearance. . . . But even readers uninterested in conspiracy theories will be impressed with Miller's extraordinary talent, remarkable work ethic, and commitment to music, the 'kids,' and his country."--Richard Culyer, World War II Magazine, "Spragg's account offers depth and closure to this long debated matter."--Rich Kienzle, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "A magnificent new look at [Glenn Miller's] entire career, as well as a stunning conclusion about how he really went down in 1944's most famous aerial missing person case. It's not what you think, either!"--Blaine Taylor, Military Advisor, " Glenn Miller Declassified will, of course, be of interest to scholars of military history and American music. But it is also an excellent resource for understanding broadcasting (both of music and spoke word) during World War II. Furthermore, Glenn Miller Declassified will be of interest to scholars of Iowa and the Midwest, as Miller was a native son of Iowa whose musical mind was shaped by the band culture of the interwar America heartland."-- Annals of Iowa, "Dennis Spragg not only brings Miller's entire professional life and career into sharp focus; he artfully weaves together strands of military, aviation, political, and cultural history to produce what is sure to be the definitive biography of this dedicated patriot and gifted entertainer. Glenn Miller Declassified is a richly researched and wonderfully crafted work."--Mark J. Conversino, deputy commandant and professor of strategy and security studies at the U.S. Air Force School of Advanced Air and Space Studies  , " Glenn Miller Declassified is a remarkable feat of historical investigation, technical analysis, and cultural retrospective. Meticulously researched, the author provides the most compelling argument yet of what happened to one of America's most influential musical figures."--Col. Matthew M. Hurley, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), and former USAF and division chief, ISR Doctrine and Policy, "Spragg has crafted a book that will appeal and benefit an eclectic group of readers, including those with interests in World War II, big band and swing music, unsolved mysteries, and of course, Glenn Miller himself."-- Military Review, "With great dedication Dennis Spragg has extensively researched the stories that have long circulated about the disappearance of our father's plane during World War II. Finally, there is resolution to this long-standing mystery."--Jonnie Miller Hoffman, daughter and surviving heir of Glenn Miller, "Dennis Spragg not only brings Miller's entire professional life and career into sharp focus; he artfully weaves together strands of military, aviation, political, and cultural history to produce what is sure to be the definitive biography of this dedicated patriot and gifted entertainer.

Conversino, deputy commandant and professor of strategy and security studies at the U.S. Air Force School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, "Readers who enjoy true-crime and mystery media--whether Netflix's "Making a Murderer," public radio's "Serial" or history-mysteries of any kind--will find plenty to keep the pages turning."--Clay Evans, Daily Camera, "With great dedication Dennis Spragg has extensively researched the stories that have long circulated about the disappearance of our father's plane during World War II. Finally, there is resolution to this long-standing mystery."--Jonnie Miller Hoffman, daughter and surviving heir of Glenn Miller

Synopsis
On December 15, 1944, Maj. Alton Glenn Miller, commanding officer of the Army Air Force Band (Special), boarded a plane in England bound for France with Lt. Col. Norman Francis Baessell. Somewhere over the English Channel the plane vanished. No trace of the aircraft or its occupants has ever been found. To this day Miller, Baessell, and the pilot, John Robert Stuart Morgan, are classified as missing in action. Weaving together cultural and military history, Glenn Miller Declassified tells the story of the musical legend Miller and his military career as commanding officer of the Army Air Force Band during World War II. After a brief assignment to the Army Specialist Corps, Miller was assigned to the Army Air Forces Training Command and soon thereafter to Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, in the UK. Later that year Miller and his band were to be transferred to Paris to expand the Allied Expeditionary Forces Programme, but Miller never made it. Miller's disappearance resulted in numerous conspiracy theories, especially since much of the information surrounding his military service had been classified, restricted, or, in some cases, lost. Dennis M. Spragg has gained unprecedented access to the Miller family archives as well as military and government documents to lay such theories to rest and to demonstrate the lasting legacy and importance of Miller's life, career, and service to his country.
