At 2:10 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy Avenger
torpedo-bombers comprising Flight 19 took off from the
Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a routine
three-hour training mission.
After having completed their objective, Flight 19 was
scheduled to take them due east for an additional 67
miles, then turn north for 73 miles, and back to the air
station after that, totaling a distance of 120 miles.
They never returned.
