Mystery Solved?! "Big Band" leader Glen Miller was most likely killed by friendly fire says documentary. "Documentary-makers believe that a fleet of 139 Lancaster bombers returning on the fateful night from an abortive mission over Nazi Germany dumped their payload into the English Channel -- and right onto Miller's plane."
Here's the Guardian article upon which the Reuter's article is based.

Yes, as it states, this explanation has been around since the airman first went public about it in 1956 (I first heard it almost 20 years ago -- I had no idea then that it wasn't new). I don't know that we can call it solved, but in the absence of evidence for anything else, it certainly sounds plausible.
