Flight 19 Lost in the Bermuda Triangle

On this day in 1945, Flight 19, a Navy training flight of 5 planes and 14 men took off from Ft Lauderdale and into American folklore.

According to legend, and much of the mainstream knowledge of that ill-fated flight is just that, a squadron of experienced pilots began a routine training mission in perfect weather, but soon became confused and disoriented, even hallucinating, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
