On one fair-weather day at the end of the Second World War, five naval aircraft carrying fourteen young airmen vanished without a trace.
The disappearance of US Navy Flight 19 captured the public imagination as the greatest of all Bermuda Triangle mysteries. The scale of this calamity was made all the more tragic by the losing of so many men just months after World War two. These are the haunting shots of the crew of Flight 19. These young men would become victims of one of Americas greatest mysteries, bringing international attention to the myth of the Bermuda Triangle.
Wild and weird legends have developed around Flight 19 since its disappearance, but, what are the facts? Perhaps no one knows more about the infamous tragedy than Bermuda Triangle expert, enthusiast and author John Casar. In terms of the Triangle, I consider myself the person most informed to write the biography on it, all the mysteries about it. The facts, instead of the fiction. Instead of the legend. Instead of the hearsay.
Casar has examined all of the known historical records about Flight 19, as well as listening to the first hand accounts of witnesses from the time. Official records reveal that instrument failure was the first sign of trouble for Flight 19. But what really happened? If we retrace the steps of the flight, could we learn anything new?
In an authentic World War 2 Avenger aircraft we decide to refly, for perhaps the first time, the exact planned route of the doomed Flight 19 out over the waters of the Bermuda Triangle.
