 B-25 N92877

AnimRadar60col

   “He was a tough dude, carried a .357 magnum, and lived for flying.”

   So is the description of the pilot of this B-25, Gene Nattress. He and his cargo carrying former bomber disappeared on April 5, 1966. The 36 year old Nattress was flying his treasured Mitchell bomber N92877 en route from Miami to Aruba, West Indies, with a load of frozen chickens, eggs, and plane parts. He checked in at Bimini island, then was heard over Andros to report all was well.

   His next stop was Great Inagua, a common halfway point for aircraft flying to and from Puerto Rico and Miami. However, he never arrived at Great Inagua. He had sent no Mayday to indicate a problem, and a search found no trace of his aircraft.

     Nattress was a very experienced pilot, with some 4,000 flight hours, with 1,500 in B-25s. But this does not tell the whole story.

   Supposedly around that time he had been flying into Havana, Cuba, even noting the trips in his logbook. He could have turned over Andros and headed to Castro’s restricted island fortress. Several rumors said that Gene had been flying  reconnaissance for the U.S. in the 1960s and may have been  captured by the Cubans when he disappeared. The Swiss Ambassador apparently even checked into it and said that although there were war games at the time Nattress was not a prisoner.

       Gene Nattress.

   However, Gene Nattress also flew frequently to Nicaragua, Guyana, Jamaica, and Belize delivering goods for the cargo’s owners. Often they would trade cargo— frozen chicken for frozen lobsters. This trip actually appeared to be one of these regular cargo runs and not some secret rendezvous out of a James Bond flick.

   On this last trip Gene was accompanied by George Golas, who apparently owned a bush plane company in Central America and often came to Florida for plane parts. After he would drop off his cargo at Aruba, he planned to take Golas to Guyana. At the last minute a 17 year old boy, Ken Pekin, came along for fun.

     The usual rumors of CIA involvement, hidden cargoes, faked death, it all gets around. But it is certain his very distinctive B-25 has not been reported elsewhere.

     The truth in this case is mystery, not conspiracy. Gene Nattress and his B-25, George Golas and young Ken Pekin, completely disappeared in 1966. This is all that is truly certain. This incident has hitherto been given only a line in any book. But as most disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle, a single line is often only the tip of the iceberg. Some 50 years later, the chase for this mystery still goes on. It is yet another mystery and adventure in the Bermuda Triangle.
