Lex Anteinternet: Wednesday, December 5, 1945. Flight 19.:
Wednesday, December 5, 1945. Flight 19.
The legendary aviation mystery of Flight 19 occurred when five Grumman TBFs disappeared in a training flight between Florida and Bermuda, together with a PBM Mariner that was sent to look for the missing aircraft.
The PBM is believed to have exploded.
No doubt because none of the aircraft have ever been found, the mystery remains an enduring and popular one, and it is part of the Bermuda Triangle set of myths.
The French government nationalized five banks.
