Coshocton Tribune, Coshocton, Ohio, Saturday, June 11, 1966, pg 1, col 6: Five Killed in Plan Crash. Palataka, Fla. (UPI) - An Air Force captain from Dayton, Ohio, and four member of his family died Friday when their light plan "started spinning like crazy" and crashed in a remote area near here.

Killed were the pilot, Capt. Gerald Lyvere, 48 of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton; his wife Joyce, 40, a daughter Dorothy, 5; a son Floyd, 6, and Mrs. Lyvere's Mother, Mrs. O.W. Anderson, Paradise, California.

The family was en route from Ohio to the Bahamas for a vacation when the craft apparently flew into some turbulence. Witnesses said the plane, a Stinson 108-3, "began spinning around and around like crazy and dropped straight down" about 15 miles southwest of St. Augustine.

The plane was jointly owned by Lyvere and five other pilots at Wright-Patterson in a private flying club at the based. The plane's last stop was in Jacksonville, Fla.
