The Discovery of Flight 19, by a former US Army pilot who surveyed the records and charts to locate the five TBM Avengers that disappeared over 60 years ago.

Quasar, the man considered the leading expert in the world on the Bermuda Triangle, pulls Flight 19 from the Triangle's clutches to reveal it as a military blunder, a tragedy, and an irony. Like an absorbing detective read, "They Flew into Oblivion" leads the reader through the case and its aftermath and then follows the author on his solution of its mystery.

Flight 19 Depth Perception 2 is my updated and closer look at the true story of a 75-year-old American Cold Case.It's an additional fifty pages of insights and visuals, based solely on information straight out of the Board of Investigation Report. A Training Hop of five Avenger airplanes and 14 Navy Crew Members were lost over an area of the Atlantic known as the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 and have never been found. You are not going to believe what a little reprinting and photo editing revealed this time around! Once again, I started with the basics. I broke down all the terms and language into "normal person standards". Then I shredded all those, "Five highly trained pilots", with planes that were, "In good working order", flew off into "67 degree balmy skies," half-truths into confetti. How? Why? Ready, set..read!

Veronico explores the romantic era of World War II warbirds and the stories of some of its most famous wrecks, including the "Swamp Ghost" (a B-17E which crashed in New Guinea in the early days of World War II and which was only recently recovered), and "Glacier Girl" (a P-38, part of "The Lost Squadron," which crashed in a large ice sheet in Greenland in 1942). Throughout, Veronico provides a history of the aircraft, as well as the unique story behind each discovery and recovery with ample illustrations.

Uncover the compelling true story behind a mysterious WWII plane crash and the “Frozen Airmen” found in the High Sierra. In October 2005, two mountaineers climbing above Mendel Glacier in the High Sierra found the mummified remains of a man in a World War II uniform, entombed in the ice. The “Frozen Airman” discovery created a media storm and a mystery that drew Peter Stekel to investigate. What did happen to the four-man crew who perished on a routine navigational training flight in 1942, some 150 miles off course from the reported destination? Peter found bad weather, bad luck, and bad timing—empty graves, botched records, and misguided recovery efforts. Then, in 2007, the unimaginable happened again. Peter himself discovered a second body in the glacier. Another young man would finally be coming home. Through meticulous research, interviews, and mountaineering trips to the site, Peter uncovered the story of these four young men. Final Flight explores their ill-fated trip and the misinformation that surrounded it for more than 60 years. The book is a gripping account that’s part mystery, part history, and part personal journey to uncover the truth of what happened on November 18, 1942. In the process, Peter narrates the young aviators’ last days and takes us on their final flight.

The disappearance of Flight 19, five US Navy Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers, on December 5th 1945 and the subsequent vanishing of a Martin Mariner PBM flying boat which was searching for them remains one of the most baffling and enduring aviation mysteries.More nonsense has been written about Flight 19 than almost any other aviation mystery. The loss of these aircraft has been blamed on everything from giant waterspouts to UFOs and even on the malign influence of the Bermuda Triangle. However, many previous writers have either invented evidence to support their theories or have focused on only a single aspect of this tragedy. This book includes a detailed analysis of all the evidence and concludes that the solution to this mystery is much simpler but no less tragic or surprising. The writer has experience of both investigative journalism and flying and uses this knowledge to provide a harrowing account of human failure and fallibility that led directly to the deaths of twenty-seven men.Clearly set out and meticulously researched, this book finally tells the real story of Flight 19.
