"The book ... is one of the best-selling titles on the planet, after the Bible and Das Kapital by Karl Marx." Just me or is that funny?

Hey thanks for posting this. I had seen mention a few years ago about the fisherman bringing the bracelet up in a net and had never been able to find anything else about it.
If anyone wants to read a decent pre-war flying book try Wind ,Sand and Stars instead of the above kid's book.
Now maybe someday Glenn Miller's plane will be located.

It was not a Lockheed P-38.
He flew a special F-5 recon aircraft.

I read it years ago.

And, coincidentally, the musical movie version of "The Little Prince" (the final collaboration of Lerner and Lowe) came out on DVD today.

I knew he had died in a plane crash. I did not know it was during the war.

The book is terrifically boring. It never could hold my attention, and I'd read the back of the shampoo bottle. Now, my two-year-old niece hates it . . . "Not the boring book!" she says when we brandish it at her.

A 1936 file photo of French novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of 'The Little Prince', at his Paris home. A French scuba team has discovered parts of Saint Exupery's warplane in the Mediterranean near the southern France city of Marseille, a French Air Force official said Wednesday, April 7, 2004. Saint Exupery disappeared in 1944 while flying a reconnaissance mission for the Allies. (AP Photo/files)

"The zone containing the pieces was very large, one kilometre long and 400 metres wide," the diver, Luc Vanrell, said. Looking at the pieces, we are thinking of a hypothesis of a near-vertical dive at high speed. But that's just a guess," he said.
Unless acted upon by other forces, a near vertical dive wouldn’t produce a kilometer long debris field.
