A ghost of the Pacific Ocean Theater vanishes into thin air over the Atlantic, and decades later, the mystery still refuses to reveal its dead. Josh Gates Explorer unravels the haunting backstory of the lost avenger, an avenger torpedo bomber that left a Florida naval base on a routine training flight in 1945 and simply never came home. On board were a world war 2 pilot and a gunner, two American soldiers flying a battle-hardened TBM Avenger that had survived the fiercest World War II skies only to meet a silent, terrifying fate during peacetime. Their disappearance wasn't part of the infamous flight 19, yet it remains an equally chilling aviation accident buried deep in military aviation history, with rumors swirling that a collision in thick cloud cover may have sealed their doom. This navy bomber became the obsession of Project Recover, a team determined to solve a mystery that lies at the crossroads of ocean archaeology and underwater archaeology, where side scan sonar sweeps and marine archaeology techniques promise to turn a shipwreck exploration into the recovery of one of the rarest World War II Aircraft ever found.
