A documented 1945 loss, the seed of the Bermuda Triangle legend

On December 5th 1945 five Navy Avenger bombers lifted off from Fort Lauderdale on a training run and flew into nothing: their compasses failed, their radio garbled, and all five vanished with fourteen men, along with a rescue plane sent after them. No certain wreckage was ever found. The loss of Flight 19 is where the legend of the Bermuda Triangle was born. This pin sits out over the water they were last heard from.
