Welcome to the third venture into the Archives of the Unexplained, a graphic novel series exploring historical and mysterious hair-raising events. In this dive we look into the disappearance of Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops!
Shiver me timbers! Divya and Neal's school trip to a maritime museum takes an eerie turn when they sneak away to explore the out-of-bounds areas. There they meet an old bearded docent who is full of strange tales of vanishing planes and ships. What really did happen to the crew of Flight 19, lost over the ocean during a training exercise? And what was the fate of the USS Cyclops, vanished without so much as an SOS signal or a trace of wreckage? One thing's for sure--when their teacher finds Divya and Neal they're going to be in a boatload of trouble!
