According to the website ancestry.com, 20 percent of boys are given the first and middle names of a family member (father?). That's 1 in 5, as an upper limit. If this held true a century ago, when theoretically most US Navy WW2 pilots were born, then we could use the 1/5 figure to calculate the...

The US built 151 aircraft carriers during WW2, of which 122 were the smaller escort carriers. Great Britain, by contrast, had 14 aircraft carriers total during the war. So the contribution of Royal Navy (including Commonwealth Navy) pilot-officers named James, who flew off of aircraft...

I've gone through A-Z already. If I could determine that the Navy officer was killed while serving aboard an aircraft carrier or if I wasn't sure, then I included the name. If I could determine that the Navy officer was killed while serving aboard a ship other than an aircraft carrier (eg...

According to this US Navy history website there were 1274 American Navy aviation officers killed in air combat operations during the entire American involvement in WW2 (Dec 7, 1941 - Aug 1945), both Pacific and Atlantic theaters...

Re-reading Sudduth's 2021 paper (JSE 35(4) "The James Leininger case re-examined" p.1001, Sudduth makes the following concessions about little James's "early bird" claims. James claimed that: 1) He was a pilot. 2) He flew a plane off a boat. 3) The Japanese shot his plane down. 4) His plane...

Here is a post by Andrea to a member called "Trin's mom" in a thread called "I'm soooooo freaked out" (Nov 2005): http://reincarnationforum.com/threads/im-soooooo-freaked-out.708/#post-15413 "Your story reminds me so much of my son James's story. I do belive, as another viewer did, that your...

I went back to www.newspapers.com and searched both "sticking my neck out" and "here goes my neck", wanting to compare the relative popularity of each expression (they basically mean the same thing). "sticking my neck out" got nearly 12,000 hits. "here goes my neck" got 69 hits. So the idiom...

Here are some examples of “here goes my neck” from www.newspapers.com . I've skipped over any examples that include any qualifiers like "out" and any examples where the meaning was anticipated beforehand or explained immediately afterwards (e.g. "sticking my neck out here"). Straight...

In this clip, Anthony Peake interviews Michael Sudduth January 2022 about their mutual interests including the James Leininger case, shortly before Sudduth's paper appeared in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE vol 35 (4) ). Sudduth talks about the case, his research into the case...

I think I may have found a better explanation for the "Now here goes my neck." line that little 3 year old James Leininger says while alone, playing with a toy airplane in the sunroom, in the summer of 2001 (see post #14 above). I had never heard the expression before, and therefore thought...

Point well taken. My son was the same way. But re-watch the Blue Angels video. There's no context in the caption footer "Capt. Scott Larsen". A lot of reading is context. And developing a vocabulary. My guess is that "Capt." "Scott" "Larsen" are not in the average 2 year old's...

From Soul Survivor – The Reincarnation of a World War Two Fighter Pilot (Bruce and Andrea Leininger with Ken Gross, 2009: 105) “There were other peculiar moments [in that summer of 2001]—for instance, when [3-year-old] James was alone in the sunroom and, as Andrea watched from a distance, he...
