Discovery of Flight 19

The story of a quarter of a century of research and analysis of Flight 19, the search and discovery of a TBM Avenger, and the raising of the aircraft to the surface. On December 5th of 1945, Flight 19 vanished off the Florida coastline, seemingly forever. The five Grumman TBM Avengers held 14 crew members on a training mission that went bad. Forty-five years later, Aviation Expert Jon F. Myhre discovered Flight 19 and brought an Avenger to the surface. This is the story of one man’s personal mission to bring these men home. Retrace the mission from land to sea and back. See how a TBM-1C was pulled from the sea floor and two crash sites were located on land. None of the men of Flight 19 died within the infamous Bermuda Triangle.
