Yes, it's now understood that the Norseman strayed into a part of the Channel where aircraft could drop unexpended ordnance. The weather was bad and they didn't see the formation of RAF bombers overhead that dropped their bombs, one of which struck the Norseman.
Fine music to model by!
My Dad (a huge fan of dance bands & jazz) called that "Belly Rubbin' Music!" LoL!
Also great Sunday morning music.
Always watch "The Glenn Miller Story" whenever I see it listed - although I haven't seen it in quite a while now. Thanks for the post.
