Unsolved Mystery: World's 7 Airplane Disappearances

Glen Miller’s Flight Over English Channel, 1944: Big band leader Glenn Miller was the biggest star on the American pop-music scene in the years immediately after World War II. He was a man who set aside his brilliant career right at its peak in 1942 to serve his country as leader of the United States Army Air Forces dance band.

It was on December 15, 1944 when Captain Miller boarded a single-engine aircraft at an airfield outside of London. Tragically, his aircraft went missing over the English Channel en route to France for a congratulatory performance for American troops that had helped to liberate Paris.  Even in this case, many theories about the fate of his single engine monoplane have taken place since then.

Flight 19 and the Bermuda Triangle, 1945: Flight 19, the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 airmen on the flight were lost and professional investigators assumed it to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. It is still weirder when one of the planes sent out to look for the lost training aircraft also disappeared. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 but said the aircraft may have become disoriented and ditched in rough seas after running out of fuel. In a way, it is from this incident when the legend of the Bermuda Triangle was started.
