The Night My Number Came Up
A Royal Navy officer is persuaded to give details of a dream in which eight people board a Dakota destined for Tokyo and crash in the Japanese highlands at a posh dinner party in Hong Kong. Air Marshal Hardie, who is scheduled to go to Tokyo the next day, is among those listening. Hardie rejects the dream at first since he is set to fly away in a Liberator, but when he arrives at the airport, he discovers that the Liberator has broken down and has been replaced by a Dakota. When two more troops board the plane shortly before takeoff, bringing the total number of soldiers on board to eight, Hardie worries that his nightmare is coming true and he is doomed to die.
