Who gave the Bermuda Triangle its name?

Answer 1

The former- and well-known Fishing commentator of Radio and TV fame- Vincent ( Gadabout) Gaddis, wrote a book about the mystery- called Invisible Horizons, and this popularized the term Bermuda Triangle. It is not known if the Flying Fisherman-as he was known, ever scouted out the area in his Amphibious plane- a Republic Seabee.

Answer 2

The first record that suggested that there was something unusual about disappearances in the area of Bermuda was an Associated Press article by Edward Van Winkle Jones in 1950.

The first use of the term was in a 1964 article with a similar theme that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.
