80 years ago His Carburetor Iced Up



40-year-old trombonist, arranger, composer and bandleader Glenn Miller departs with his a single-engine UC-64 Norseman airplane for Paris in RAF Twinwood Farm, Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom.

Miller's plane probably crashed above the English Channel because of its carburetor which was of a type known to ice up in cold weather.
