PO1 Tony Holland, Glenn Miller was my favorite also. His band had a sound quite distinct from other swing era bands, emphasizing woodwinds as opposed to brass (even though he was a trombonist).
"It is said that Miller could never remember precisely the moment he decided to emphasize his new reed section sound. But it was during this disheartening interim, that he realized the unique sound — produced by the clarinet holding the melodic line while the tenor sax plays the same note, and supported harmonically by three other saxophones — just might be the individual and easily recognizable style that would set his band apart from all the rest."
“A band ought to have a sound all of its own. It ought to have a personality.” – Glenn Miller

I certainly hope that the aircraft that has been found is Glenn Miller's UC-64A Norseman, Sgt Wayne Wood.
