Horse Fly Mask
On December 5, 1945, five Navy TBM Avenger torpedo left Ft Lauderdale, Florida for a training mission. They had to fly to several points in the Atlantic and back to base in Florida, covering a distance of 320 miles. radio conversations between pilots were detectable by base and other aircraft in the region. We knew that the operation of bombing exercises were completed successfully.
The first sign of trouble came with the transmission, I do not know where we are. We must be lost after the last round. "Message was heard by another instructor Flight Lieutenant Robert F. Fox in the FT-74, who tried to help recover the flight has lost its way. Lt. Charles Taylor Carroll, the head of the squadron flight lost in transmission, two compasses are my left and I'm trying to find Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I'm from the land, but is broken. I'm sure I'm in Keys, but do not know how weak and I do not know how to reach Fort Lauderdale. "Lt. Fox then advised them to put the sun in the left wing and fly north up the coast of Fort Lauderdale.
Adopted a number of transmissions and forth between the flight leader and the four bombers. They went one way then the other, trying to find something the family around the world. The last transmission heard of Lieutenant Taylor has been "All planes close-hauled … we should ditch unless landfall … when the drops leading to under 10 gallons, all descend together. "It quickly became clear that Lieutenant Taylor, for some unknown reason, turned his command to another pilot anxiety transmitted: "We can not say where we are … everything … we see nothing. We think it could be about 225 km north of the base. . . "For a few moments, the pilot walks incoherent before saying the last words heard from Flight 19:" It seems we are entering the water white. . . We are completely lost. "The five naval bombers have never been reviewed.
A few minutes after the last transmission Mariner flying boat rescue team is sent to the transmission area of Flight 19. Ten minutes after takeoff, the pilot controls Mariner Tower and never heard of him. The coast guard and naval vessels and research aircraft 250.000 square miles for next five days, hoping to find some sign of the Avengers 5 or Mariner, but I saw no oil slick and debris.
In 1990, the remains of an Avenger was raised on the ocean floor, but has not been formally identified as one of the missing aircraft.
A curious note This story is only one plane flight 19 was a crew member missing. Kosner Marine Corporal Allan has received special permission to stay on the ground that day because he was a danger preminition unshakable.

In addition to flymask and spray may be useful for installation a fan in its place that produces a strong breeze … flies do not fly like the wind (if your horse is smart enough to stay ahead of the fan, hehe). You can also try to get a fly that looks like a blanket, but you can around a canvas sheet under the belly, too. You flymask fly spray spray before putting on his horse, too. If this fails, smear Vaseline on the face, neck and stomach. In this way, the flies can not reaching your skin.
