In an incident on December 5, 1945, five American bombers and one search plane were lost - the planes were never found.
According to radio reports from the crew, the five bombers with instructor Lieutenant Taylor, who was flying in the area for the first time, got lost during a training flight east of Florida when they ran out of fuel. At the time, the area had rough seas and strong winds, making the launch unsafe (no trace of the aircraft was discovered). A search plane that took off later was also lost, but more than 200 km northwest of the Bermuda Triangle boundary. A large oil stain was found in the sea where it presumably crashed, but nothing else.
