Even before its publication They Flew into Oblivion attracted the national spotlight. Having an early and still-unfinished copy of the manuscript, Larry Landsman, SCI-FI Channel's Special Projects Director, pushed for a special documentary to be produced by NBC News Productions and then lobbied Congress through Podesta-Matoon, the nation's third largest lobbyist, for formal recognition of the subject of this book in Congress. This culminated in a Resolution in Congress sponsored by Republican E. Clay Shaw of Florida, which passed overwhelmingly on November 17 at 420-2 votes. This recognition was unique in that it honored 14 US Navy airmen who had vanished 60 years before. They were the men of Flight 19, those 5 Navy torpedo bombers that disappeared in mysterious circumstances off Florida on December 5, 1945. Gian J. Quasar, the man considered the leading expert in the world on the Bermuda Triangle, paradoxically pulls the flight from the Triangle's clutches to reveal it as...

After disclosing to her best friend, Logan, that she can see bizarre things, Melanie receives a message from what can only be a sinister presence. With his father vanishing and all the signs telling him to undertake a precarious odyssey, Logan is forced to walk into the unknown along with Melanie and discover a world of bewitched fortresses, invincible monsters, cynical sorceresses and implausible dangers. Only time shall tell if this pair of oblivious sixteen-year-olds can fight through the traps laid out by evil forces and prevent what could potentially be the end of the world.

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.

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.
