Flight 19 Naval Report Volume 2 The Exhibits

On December 5, 1945, five TBM Avengers, known as Flight 19, took off from NAS Ft. Lauderdale on a training mission. After becoming disoriented and lost, radio communication ceased. Flight 19 was never seen or heard from again. Thus, cementing Flight 19, as the cornerstone of the Bermuda Triangle Legend. Seventy years later, it is still a mystery. Part of the reason could be blamed on the fact that the general public has never seen the most important key to the mystery. A published version of the "original navy investigation". But now all of that has changed. Andy Marocco, founder of AeroQuest.org, has compiled and organized all of the "original documents" of the 1945 investigation from government microfilm and published them in a series of book volumes, known as the FLIGHT 19 Naval Report. For the first time, teachers, students and researchers will finally have access to all the "original documents" of the Flight 19 investigation in a "printed standard" for collaboration, discussion and reference.It is believed that the FLIGHT 19 Naval Report volumes will become "key tools" for the next generation of Flight 19 investigators to help solve the greatest aviation mystery of all time.In Volume 2 of the Flight 19 Naval Report: The Exhibits, all the evidence and data that was presented at the Naval Hearings of December 1945 can be seen. These Exhibits include Maps, Radio Logs, HF/DF Bearings, Rescue Plans, Search Charts, Communications and more.

Flight 19 was never seen or heard from again. Thus, cementing FLIGHT 19, as the cornerstone of the Bermuda Triangle legend.Seventy five years later, it's still a major mystery. Part of the reason could be blamed on the fact that the general public has never seen the most important key to the mystery, a published version of the "original navy investigation". But now all that has changed.​​For the first time, people will finally have access to the "original documents" from the Navy's Flight 19 investigation.Aviation Historian, Andy Marocco has compiled and organized the report into two separate volumes.In Volume 2: The Exhibits, all the evidence and data that was presented at the Naval Hearings of December 1945 can be seen. These Exhibits include Maps, Radio Logs, HF/DF Bearings, Rescue Plans, Search Charts, Communications and more.

Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.

This is a thorough description of this increasingly important technology, starting from the development of head-up displays (HUDs), particularly specifications and standards and operational problems associated with HUD use. HUD involvement in spatial disorientation and its use in recognizing and recovering from unusual attitudes is discussed. The book summarizes the design criteria including hardware, software, interface and display criteria. It goes on to outline flight tasks to be used for evaluating HUDs and discusses the impact of HUDs on flight training. Recent work indicates that a HUD may allow a significant reduction in the time required to train a pilot on a particular aircraft, even considering non-HUD-related tasks. The author concludes with a review of unresolved HUD issues and recommendations for further research and provides an impressive bibliography, glossary and index. Within the military aviation sector the book will be of use to industry, research agencies, test pilot schools and air force training establishments. In the civil area regulatory authorities, airlines and industry will also have an increasing interest.
