Glenn Miller in Britain Then and Now

After the Battle, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Pages are clean and bright, light creasing to upper edge of jacket. After a short introduction to the band's creation, Way presents a location-by-location summary of the performances given by Miller & Co. Along with describing each base or facility, Way briefly details the concert given often including human interest stories. Dozens of vintage maps and well-captioned photographs of Miller, his band, concert sites and concerts in full swing are featured along with contemporary pix of what the sites looked like in 1996. The photographs, especially the candid shots, show us not just a great musician but also a warm, personable individual. They remind us of what a great talent Miller was and how much was lost with his death. The book concludes with chapters on Miller's loss on a flight to France on 15 December 1944, films starring or about Miller and the various 'Glenn Miller Bands' that have continued Miller's musical tradition over the years.'
