Flight 19 did not fly into a hurricane
No, they didn’t, but, the visual conditions (very much like today in Vero Beach) deteriorated as the sun set. Crummy weather came in off or the Bahamas and we ended up having to run the Generator as the batteries didn’t charge enough off the solar.
I recommend the book “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved” by Larry Kucshe. He researched the weather reports that day and found this to be so. He also wrote a Biography of Lt. Taylor.
