FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Aviation experts are still baffled by five Navy planes that disappeared from Fort Lauderdale 60 years ago. 12-5-05
Fourteen men were on the planes now known as the "Lost Patrol."
The five single-engine Avenger torpedo bombers departed what is now Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on December fifth, 1945.
The squadron was to fly to a bombing range in the Bahamas, then continue on a triangular path back to base.
But they never made it back.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports aviation experts said it's unlikely a patrol would get lost today.
Sophisticated technology available like the Global Positioning System would prevent it.
