The Mysterious Disappearance of an American Hero – Flight to Eternity
posted October 25, 2009 - 8:45amOthers members of the crew did not report the incident, he said, because the Norseman was just one of the thousands of aircraft they had seen blown up or go down. Miller’s death was not announced until days later, and at the time no one saw a connection between the two events…It was not until Shaw saw the movie The Glenn Miller Story years later that he checked his logbook and realized that the Norseman may have been carrying the bandleader.
...“Where the hell are the parachutes?” demanded Miller as he claimed into the airplane. “What’s the matter, Miller,” mocked his companion, Col. Don Baesell. “Do you want to live forever?”..The door slammed shut, and the Norseman taxied down the runway and took off into the fog..These were the last recorded moments of Miller’s life. The Norseman never arrived.

Question?
Was Col. Don Baesell the good friend of Col. Dean Hess, the Minister /pilot that helped to save all those Chinese orphan children during WW II? Also I have the video of the Glenn Miller Story. It's weird the way his plane just disapperared like that!
