![]() About 10 yrs ago, the late Martin Caidin had written a book called "Ghosts Of The Air". It was a compilation of interviews he conducted with military and civilian aviators. The topic of conversation in those interviews, were unexplained 'supernatural', or otherwise outright 'paranormal' experiences these military pilots & civilian aviators had witnessed in the course of their careers. An old B-29 bomber during WW-II returning to an airfield in London, all shot up, with no crew onboard. A lone pilot heading home hearing a voice next to him telling him to turn (to avoid impact with a mountain). He knew the voice was of his father, who had died several hours earlier unknown to him etc, etc. Just wondering if any of the folks here have had similar - 'unexplained' experiences. Back when the book was published, the internet did not exist as we know it now. Mr Caidin was very meticulous in his research both for the book, and verifying the integrity/credibility of the pilots who he interviewed (ie. retired and active duty fighter pilots, commercial airline pilots, etc). maybe we can get some interesting stories here. |

Maybe you can explain how the B-29 got shot up when it did not fly combat missions in Europe. Curious minds want to know. Regards, Tex |

An old B-29 bomber during WW-II returning to an airfield in London, all shot up, with no crew onboard. The B-29 did not fly combat in the European theater in WW II. That alone probably says something about the authors meticulous research. ALV A lone pilot heading home hearing a voice next to him telling him to turn (to avoid impact with a mountain).

Regards, Tex That was probably my mistake in recollection, from reading the book quite awhile ago. My apologies. All the events in the WW-II theater are a bit before my time. I'm only a 36 year old corporate (Part 91) pilot. From what I understand, Martin Caidin was himself a military pilot and also the author of several novels (including "Cyborg" - on which the 70's tv series "The Six Million Dollar Man" was based on). The aircraft in question, was 'some bomber' that many witnesses (other aircrews) observed land (and when they approached it, there was no crew aboard). |
