Exploring the psychological impact of superstition on Allied aircrew during World War II, this study reveals how faith and rituals influenced morale amidst perilous missions. With a staggering 45.5% casualty rate among Bomber Command personnel, many airmen turned to various beliefs, from traditional to eccentric, to cope with the dangers they faced. Military historian S. P. MacKenzie offers a groundbreaking analysis of how these practices shaped the experiences and mental resilience of those flying against fate in the skies.
