Comin' In On a Wing and a Prayer (U.S. Air Force song) (1943)
One of our planes was missing Two hours overdue, One of our planes was missing With all it's gallant crew, The radio sets were humming, They waited for a word, Then a voice broke through the humming And this is what they heard:
"Comin' in on a wing and a prayer, Comin' in on a wing and a prayer, Though there's one motor gone We can still carry on, Comin' in on a wing and a prayer.
What a show! What a fight! Yes, we really hit our target for tonight!
How we sing as we limp through the air, Look below, there's our field over there, With our full crew aboard And our trust in the Lord We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer!"
