Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, Allied casualty rates in the air were high. Of the roughly 125,000 who served as aircrew with Bomber Command, 59,423 were killed or missing and presumed killed—a fatality rate of 45.5%. With odds like that, it would be no surprise if there were as few atheists in cockpits as there were in foxholes; and indeed, many airmen faced their dangerous missions with beliefs and rituals ranging from the traditional to the outlandish. Military historian S. P. MacKenzie considers this phenomenon in Flying against Fate, a pioneering study of the important role that superstition played in combat flier morale among the Allies in World War II. Mining a wealth of documents as well as a trove of published and unpublished memoirs and diaries, MacKenzie examines the myriad forms combat fliers' superstitions assumed, from jinxes to premonitions. Most commonly, airmen carried amulets or talismans—lucky boots or a stuffed toy; a coin whose year numbers added up to thirteen; counterintuitively, a boomerang. Some performed rituals or avoided other acts, e.g., having a photo taken before a flight. Whatever seemed to work was worth sticking with, and a heightened risk often meant an upsurge in superstitious thought and behavior. MacKenzie delves into behavior analysis studies to help explain the psychology behind much of the behavior he documents—not slighting the large cohort of crew members and commanders who demurred. He also looks into the ways in which superstitious behavior was tolerated or even encouraged by those in command who saw it as a means of buttressing morale. The first in-depth exploration of just how varied and deeply felt superstitious beliefs were to tens of thousands of combat fliers, Flying against Fate expands our understanding of a major aspect of the psychology of war in the air and of World War II.

Book excerpt: Journey into a world of the Alpha & Omega. If you have never been in love you will know what it feels like through True Love. If you have been or have seen someone hurt, Betrayal will speak volumes. So much Passion it sends chills down your spine. With the Joy felt, the sun will shine bright. So much Pain you will hear the thunder. Entrapped Never knowing which door to open or close, trapped, trapped within myself Mustard Seed One morning I awoke still living deep within sin. God saidThis is your day son, If you just believe I cried, How Lord, how Embraced An invisible romance, a feeling for not just a word, a love that I hold to myself Betrayal of Love Betrayal of love, so heavy so deep, my heart is crushing beneath my feet Unforgotten Pains Unforgotten pains thoughts from yesteryear a love grimace backwards, ascend an emotional mountain as cynical as the lowest valley Rarely Pure Rarely pure is our weakness. Often we are sullied and so full of guilt, blemishes fall from our affected heart.
