During World War II, bandleader Glenn Miller wanted to fulfill his patriotic duties and boost the troops' morale by bringing upbeat American music and live performances to our soldiers. He valued entertaining them over showing off artistic talent and succeeded in both aspects. Leading the Army Air Force Band, he delighted troops with a large, flexible group of forty-five or more musicians. Miller received his official position in October 1942, and the band began performing in March 1943. Although Miller aimed to entertain soldiers overseas, the band didn't depart until June 1944. During the fall of 1944, the band was set to embark on a six-week tour of Europe with a base in Paris. Miller chose to depart early to arrange for the group's arrival. On December 15th, Glenn Miller boarded a transport plane bound for Paris and was never seen again.
