=== Investigation into disappearance === A document concerning the military career and disappearance of Miller appeared during 2017 in the book ''Glenn Miller Declassified'' by Dennis M. Spragg, director of the Glenn Miller Archives. On behalf of the Glenn Miller Estate and with the full cooperation of American and British authorities, all relevant and many new documents concerning the circumstances of the accident were discovered and published, including the inquiry findings of January 20, 1945. According to the book, Miller had no other duties than as a musical and broadcasting officer, and his high profile and schedule ruled out any clandestine role as later speculated by sensationalists. The book concludes that he was not the victim of foul play or friendly fire.<ref name=":5" /> In 2019, [[the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery]] (TIGHAR) was reported to be investigating a report that Miller's airplane was possibly discovered many miles west of its required flight path but nothing further has been reported or found. Given modern technology, a well-funded and patient exploration could possibly find and identify the debris of the airplane along the required air transport corridor between Langney Point (Beachy Head) and St. Valery, France.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dennismspragg.com/glenn-miller-declassified/|title=Glenn Miller Declassified, the definitive biography by Dennis M.
