hmm but you would think that it would be a prety safe assumption… i mean how many Torpedo Bombers could the navy manage to lose?

Actually, Lt. Taylor had a history of making this “kind of mistake.” During his service in the Pacific theater, he became so lost that he was forced to ditch his plane at sea. Twice!! In addition, it is rather amazing that, after departing Ft. Lauderdale and flying due east, he came to the conclusion that the flight was over the Florida Keys.

Possibly... my research indicated that another wreckage had been found whose engine block serial number was partially matched, but a full match could not be made due to corrosion. Everything I've seen so far has said that no 100% confirmed wreckage has been located yet... but maybe there's a more up-to-date reference that I missed.

If you can find a link to that information, do share.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the ABC television show 20/20 do a segment on this within the last 10 years where Hugh Downs reported on the finding of one of these planes? I distinctly recall seeing this and that it was indeed confirmed as one of those 5 missing planes from flight 19.
