get lost, the entire

and could not establish a
way back to base. The sky was reported as distorted,
not making sense
as well as time being lost.
The above posts claims they crashed in the
Triangle but they have
never been found. Some excitement was caused
years back when other TBM
aircraft were discovered in the area but they
were NOT Flight 19.
For more information read the book "The Disappearance
of Flight 19"
(1980) by Larry Kusche (ISBN: 0060124776).

It has been satisfactorily explained several
times beginning with the Navy
Court of Inquiry in 1945. Several years ago
a pilot who was also in the air at
the same time and tried to communicate with
Flight 19 mentioned in an interview
that at the time there was no real mystery as
to what happened. Everyone
involved realized that the Flight Leader was
disoriented including other
members of the flight who tried to point out
that they were headed in the wrong
direction. These were Navy pilots trained to
follow the orders of the flight
leader. As for no wreckage being found it is
a big ocean and even 5 TBMs are
pretty small. By the time they crashed it was
dark and there was a storm
raging. Prospects of surviving that ditching
are pretty small. Prospects of
any wreckage being scattered to hell and gone
are pretty great. Whole ships
have been lost with no more wreckage left than
would fill a suitcase. The
aircraft will eventually be found where the
half dozen radio fixes placed them
about 100 miles northeast of the northern corner
of Florida.

The best book ever written on the subject of
the Triangle is The Bermuda
Triangle Mystery: Solved; it absolutely demolishes
all the cockamamie theories
with actual research with sources like the New
York Times and Lloyds Shipping
Register and records of Courts of Inquiry.

Yes, but the author never interviewed anyone involved with any of the non-Flight
19 incidents; he relied on long-distance phone calls and later admitted filtering
out information from eyewitness accounts and official documents that conflicted
with his debunking-sort of like Phill Klass with UFOs: if the info or witness
contradicts your preconceptions, disregard it.
