    Who here agrees that the WWII era of music was the best? There's nothing I love more then flying a P-51 on MFS9 while listening to the Andrews Sisters or Glenn Miller. Big Band and Swing music was really good during it's time.

    I agree, i'm a big fan of swing and jazz. You might want to also check Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington.

    I love big band and swing but I like a very wide variety of music.

    What is the theme music for "The Eagle has Landed"? In my copy of the DVD, they left out the part where the fallshirmjager plays it on the church organ. Thanks.

    Looks like it's a purpose-written theme for the film by Lalo Schifrin.

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    What "Eagle has Landed" theme? Can you whistle it to see if we can recognize it?

    I do agree Glenn Miller was great. Wonder what all great tunes he could have composed later on.
