In his book, All About Me! Mel Brooks says he met Bob Hope and wouldn't let go of his hand until Hope agreed to give hiim his autograph. Brooks was in the Signal Corps and was reassigned to the Special Service (entertainers). After becoming a famous person in Hollywood, Brooks met Hope again and asked, "Do you remember the GI who wouldn't let go of your hand until you agreed to give him your autograph?" "Yes." "That was me!"

I'm no expert on the subject matter of Glenn Miller, but I thought he plane was bombed by a bomber that wanted to safely dump its load in the Channel. Dunno. RIP Glenn Miller and the boys really missed you.
