→Bermuda Triangle connection: added info about Cpl Kosnar
==Bermuda Triangle connection==
==Bermuda Triangle connection==
In the April 1962 issue of ''American Legion'' Magazine, author Allen W. Eckert was the first to write of the "popular" reasons for the disappearance of Flight 19. Among them, it was claimed Taylor had been heard saying "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white". It was claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars". Eckert's story, "The Lost Patrol", was the first to connect the supernatural to Flight 19, but it would take another author, Vincent Gaddis, writing for ''Argosy'' Magazine (February 1964)[http://www.physics.smu.edu/~pseudo/BermudaTriangle/vincentgaddis.txt] to put Flight 19 together with other mysterious disappearances, coin a new catchy name, and call the whole "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle"; he would build on that article with a more detailed book (''Invisible Horizons'') the next year. Other's would follow with their own works: [[John Wallace Spencer]] (''Limbo of the Lost'', 1969); [[Charles Berlitz]] (''The Bermuda Triangle'', 1974); [[Richard Winer]] (''The Devil's Triangle'', 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert. Berlitz, grandson of a distinguished linguist and author of various additional books on [[anomalous phenomena]], attributed the loss of Flight 19 to anomalous or unexplained forces, despite lack of evidence supporting his claim.

===Cpl Allan Kosnar===
Corporal Allan Kosnar, USMC, would have been the third man onboard FT-81, but he had requested to get out of the flight due to sickness. Various authors on the Bermuda Triangle have speculated that Kosnar had "premonitions" not to go on the flight. In one Triangle book (by Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey), it was Corporal Eagle Boloton who was to have taken the flight (Kosnar was not mentioned in her book). Another mentioned in the Triangle books as having had premonitions not to go on the flight, but his request to get off was refused, was Lt. Taylor himself.
