Flying against Fate: Superstition and Allied Aircrews in World War II

During World War II, Allied casualty rates in the air were 45.5%. Unsurprisingly, 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 this pioneering study of the important role that superstition played in combat flier morale among the Allies in World War II.
