## Resource

Across every branch of the military, crews depend on their machines for survival — aircraft, ships, and vehicles that become lifelines in combat.

From a Marine Corps helicopter with a deadly past… to a British jump jet plagued by accidents… to a World War I submarine surrounded by tragedy and ghostly sightings, servicemen have long shared stories of war machines that seemed marked by something darker than bad luck.
