NO HOME FOR HEROES
Episode 74 - Surviving Two Pacific Battles Only to Disappear in the Bermuda Triangle
TODAY WHEN WE SAY “FLIGHT 19” IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH “THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE”, JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HAS SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE STORY…IT USUALLY GOES LIKE THIS…”A BUNCH OF AIRPLANES VANISHED AFTER BEING ABDUCTED BY SPACE ALIENS…OR EATEN BY SEA MONSTERS…OR FLEW INTO A TIME WARP…OR, WELL, JUST RAN OUT OF GAS AND CRASHED INTO THE SEA.”
WHAT MOST SEEM TO OVERLOOK IS THAT THERE WERE 14 AMERICAN SERVICEMEN ON THOSE “BUNCH OF PLANES” WHO ARE THE REAL STORY.
IN TODAY'S EPISODE, WE PICKED ONE OF THOSE HEROES WHOSE FINAL FLIGHT INTO OBLIVION WAS NOT AT ALL A FATE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREDICTED.
