The Bible, featuring a protective metal cover inscribed with "May this keep you safe from harm," once belonged to Lt. Edsel J. McKnight of the United States Army Air Forces.

Shot down off the coast of France in 1944, his Bible was mailed to his family but got lost over the years. Recently discovered among late matriarch's belongings, the Bible was returned to Lt. McKnight's sister-in-law, shedding light on the family's wartime experiences and the protective role the Bible played for soldiers during World War II. Photo by Amandajm, Wikimedia commons.
