Air Marshal Hardie:
If a pilot gets the conviction that he isn't going to survive, gradually the strain turns it into an obsession. Then one day a crisis comes along, something maybe that he could get out of without much difficulty but he says to himself "this is it". He accepts the inevitable and goes down without any attempt to survive. That's why we don't talk about omens or bad dreams in the Air Force. They're the worst poison a flying man can swallow
