Naval aviation mystery: 60 years ago this month

Bill at Florida Masochist reminds us of that this December marks the sixtieth anniversary of one of aviation's great mysteries: The disappearance of Flight 19.

Five Navy torpedo bombers took off on Dec. 5 from what is today Fort Lauderdale airport on a training flight. Shortly thereafter, they disappeared without a trace.

Bill has details concerning what we know about the planes' flights, and theories about why they disappeared. Bill even offers his own explanation.

I think sailors, and aviation and Bermuda Triangle fans will especially enjoy the post. It's here.
