"Almost all fliers carried lucky pieces. To fly in combat without one’s charm was a sure way to get marked MIA or KIA (Missing or Killed in Action). One pilot carried his daughter’s baby booties, a gunner carried his girl’s scarf, my best friend carried my high school class ring on his dog-tag chain, and I carried his pocket-knife." (from "G.I. Lore: Lore of the Fifteenth Air Force" by Edwin E. Koch)
