"Lost and Found: Unraveling the Mystery of a Missing Banshee Pilot"
Mike Barnett and his team venture to the edge of the Bermuda Triangle, aiming to explore an underwater target known as the 540 wreck, a name bestowed upon it by fishermen due to its location over 500 feet beneath the ocean's surface. The team's mission centers on solving an unsolved Bermuda Triangle mystery dating back to February 1958. During this time, a four-member Banshee squadron from the Royal Canadian Navy engaged in joint training exercises with the U.S. Navy off the coast of Florida. As the squadron flew toward a rendezvous with their aircraft carrier under clear skies, they suddenly encountered an intense fog bank that appeared seemingly out of nowhere, reducing visibility to nearly zero. In response to this sudden change in conditions, the squadron leader ordered evasive action to escape the fog. However, only three of the four planes emerged from the fog; the Canadian pilot had vanished within the impenetrable mist and was never seen again.

Over the Top
The mud below Edward’s feet jumps like fleas as the first guns unleash their dreadful howl. Not even the rats suffered them. The feral things run across the bloated boards as if escaping some cursed and sinking East Indiaman at the barrage. He envies them. They’ll spend the night in some deep, warm hole, well beyond where the shells can get them. Edward will spend it cold and wet in the broken earth of France.
