For Transgression Reincarnation.

Book club and another story of human transgression also known as simply reincarnation it can be an explanation as well as a new family line an interest for people who chose to incorporate a present as this story shows photos and pictures of war colleagues in the livable sense of being there. when a family was able to recant every moment of their sons chain of events from World War II it was if their son was a pilot come back to life It sounds totally beyond belief. But read the tantalising evidence from this boy's family and you may start to wonder. As the agonised screams pierced the air. The Aeroplane on fire the airplane crash for this young man.' In the dark, a two-year-old boy was just visible, writhing on his bed in the grip of horror. 'He was lying there on his back, kicking and clawing at the covers like he was trying to kick his way out of a coffin,' remembers the boy's father. 'I thought, this looks like The Exorcist. I half expected his head to spin around like that little girl in the movie. But then I heard what James was saying. Over and over again, the tiny child screamed: 'Plane on fire! Little man can't get out.' 

Vivid recollections: James Leininger, pictured aged four had nightmares about being a WWII pilot who died after his plane crashed into the ocean For his shocked parents, these nightly scenes were traumatic. For experts, they were baffling. As the nightmares became more terrifying, the child started screaming the name of the 'little man' who couldn't get out of the plane. It was James - like his own name. He also talked in his dreams of 'Jack Larsen', 'Natoma' and 'Corsair'. James Leininger's father, Bruce, was flummoxed. In a desperate attempt to find an answer to his son's troubled nights, he embarked on an obsessive three-year research project, armed only with the outbursts and names his son had been shouting in his disturbed sleep. What he discovered astonished and perplexed him, and drove him to an extraordinary conclusion. A lifelong Christian, it was not the answer he had sought for his son's behaviour. But he came to believe James was the reincarnation of a World War II fighter pilot; a  man who had been shot down in his plane and struggled to escape as it caught fire; a hero.

Hero: Fighter pilot James Huston, who died in 1945 after his plane took a direct hit and plunged into the water The idea seems so preposterous as to be unbelievable. Yet in their new book, Sole Survivor: The Reincarnation Of A World War II Fighter Pilot, Bruce and his wife, Andrea, lay out some compelling evidence. It all began on May 1, 2000. James, just three weeks past his second birthday, was a happy, playful toddler living in an idyllic home in southern Louisiana. That night, his mother was woken by his screams. She held him in her arms as he thrashed around. Soon, however, James was having five nightmares a week. Andrea was worried. Her little boy began to talk during his bad dreams, screaming about an airplane crash and writhing as if he were trapped in a burning aircraft. At a toy shop, they admired some model planes. 'Look,' said Andrea. 'There's a bomb on the bottom.' 'That's not a bomb, Mummy,' he replied. 'That's a drop tank.' Just a toddler, he was talking like a military historian. How had he known about the gas tank used by aircraft to extend their range? As the nightmares continued, she asked him: 'Who is the little man?' 'Me,' he answered. His father asked: 'What happened to your plane?' James replied: 'It crashed on fire.'  'Why did your plane crash?'  'It got shot,' he said. 'Who shot your plane?'  James made a disgusted face. 'The Japanese!' he said, with indignation. He said he knew it was the Japanese, because of 'the big red sun'. Was he describing the Japanese symbol of the rising sun, painted on their warplanes, called 'meatballs' by American pilots? Tentatively, Andrea began to suggest reincarnation;As perhaps James had lived a past life? Bruce reacted angrily. There must be a rational explanation for all this. He questioned his son further. 'Do you remember what kind of plane the little man flew?' 'A Corsair,' replied the two-year-old without hesitation - repeating the word he shouted in his dreams. Bruce knew this was a World War II fighter plane. ‘Do you remember where your airplane took off from?' he asked. 'A boat,' said James. How did he know that these planes were launched from aircraft carriers? He asked the name of the boat. His son replied with certainty: 'The Natoma.' After James was in bed, Bruce researched what he had heard. A naturally sceptical man, he was amazed to find the Natoma Bay was a World War II aircraft carrier.

James' father sadly never found out the circumstances surrounding his death James even began to don an imaginary pilot's headset when his mother strapped him into his car seat. And when Bruce ordered a book for his father's Christmas present - The Battle Of Iwo Jima - James pointed to the picture and said: 'Daddy, that's when my plane was shot down.' Bruce, who works in the oil industry, rushed into his office, where he had a dictionary of American naval fighting ships. Natoma Bay had supported the U.S. Marines' invasion of Iwo Jima in 1945. Bruce was mystified - what was coming out of the mouth of his two-year- old? Next, the little boy named his nightmare alter-ego's best friend. He was Jack Larsen. 'He was a pilot, too,' he said. Bruce decided that he had to find Jack Larsen to prove his point to his wife - Larsen would tell him that James had invented the whole thing, and there was no such thing as reincarnation.
