It was on 5th December 1945.
A fleet of 5 torpedo bomber planes took off on official training duty from the Naval Air Station in Florida, USA.
Some moments into the flight, it was noted that the pilots complained about their compasses which suddenly started acting weird.
The team of 5 planes was actually led by the main pilot, Charles Carroll Taylor.
Around 19:04, Captain Carroll logged in his last known words:
Carroll Taylor : “All planes close up tight… We’ll have to ditch unless landfall… When the first plane drops below 10 gallons, we all go down together”.

RESCUE TEAM:
Soon after signals were completely lost from Flight 19, a rescue plane which was a Martin PBM Mariner flying boat, was launched from the Florida Air base to search for the missing 5 torpedo planes of Flight 19.
After the rescue plane had flown around for some time, it mysteriously stopped communicating with the Naval base.
It was later noticed that the rescue plane disappeared around the area where Flight 19 had earlier disappeared : the Bermuda Triangle.
Although some investigators presumed that the rescue plane may have exploded in mid-air, no wreckage of the plane has ever been found to prove this.
CASUALTIES:
Flight 19 (which constituted of 5 planes), collectively had 14 men on board.
All 14 men were lost or missing and have now been presumed dead.
The second plane which was a Martin PBM Mariner flying boat, had 13 crew members.
All 13 crew members have been presumed dead.
A total of 27 victims were lost in the 1945 Bermuda Triangle incident.
