The single engine aircraft was performing a special flight from the RAF Twinwood Farm, Bedfordshire, to Paris-Le Bourget, with two crew members and the famous American Musician and Director Glenn Miller who was flying to Paris to give a concert to the US, British and French soldiers based in the city of Paris recently released. En route, the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances into The Channel and no trace of it nor the crew was ever found.

The aircraft was on its way for a bombing mission over Karlsruhe. While overflying Lorraine, the four engine bomber crashed in unclear circumstances in Longuyon, killing all 11 occupants.
