Lt. Col. Norman Baesell (d. 1944) was an American flyer who was riding in an aircraft over the English Channel with famed bandleader Glenn Miller. Miller was on his way to a Christmas performance in Liberated Paris. The ride turned out to be fairly rough, with cold, ice and fog. Heard over the radio were Glenn Miller’s last words, “Where the hell are the parachutes!”
The Colonel’s last words: “What’s wrong Miller? You want to live forever?”Infamous Last Words: Lt. Col. Norman Baesell (d. 1944)
