"The bond between the crew of an airplane, especially in wartime, is almost as strong as that of close blood relatives. After all, their lives often depend on each other. This trust and dependency migrates to other crews who fly in the same formation and is so strong it is not dimmed by time." Robert Shanks, author of The Heavenly Body
The Heavenly Body is about WW II in the South Pacific as fought by B-25s of the 42nd Bomb Group. Crews formed special bonds with the plane assigned to them. A hunk of metal that prefers one crew over another? Maybe, at least their crews thought so. One thing they knew for sure. Their own plane would work much harder to bring them back home than some bucket of bolts they knew nothing about. They were also determined to do their part in the conflict and even more determined to hide the gnawing knot of fear that lived in their guts as they prepared for a mission. The Heavenly Body helped her crew to do all these things.
