James Leininger is an 8 year-old boy who has been experiencing recurring nightmares of being shot down by a Japanese plane for the past 5 1/2 years. The nightmares began began shortly after his father took him to visit a Dallas flight museum when he was 18 months old.

“They were terrible, terrible,” Andrea Leininger told the Tribune-Review News Service in 2004. “He would scream, ‘airplane crash, on fire, little man can’t get out!’ He’d be kicking, with his hands pointing up at the ceiling.”

James’s parents believe that their son is a reincarnation of Lt. James McCready Huston, a World War II fighter pilot from Uniontown who was killed near Iwo Jima more than 50 years ago. The Leiningers appeared on the Montel Williams Show in 2004 and recently on Good Morning America.
