On December 5 1945, a flight of 5 TBM Avengers on a training flight disappeared. In the ensuing search within what has become known as The Bermuda Triangle, a Martin Mariner search aircraft also disappeared. The disappearance has captived conspiracy nuts and filmmakers for over 80-years. Historian David O'Keefe has been hot on the trail of Flight 19 and joins Boney to discuss the Hunt for Flight 19.
