Chapter 9 – The 7th Best Pilot In The Army Air Corps

God Has Given Approval — Chapter 9 is dedicated to the courageous Christian soldiers!

But those who trust THE LORD
    will find new strength.
They will be strong like eagles
    soaring upward on wings

Isaiah 40:31a (CEV)

Lewis Frasier Osborne was in college studying to be an architect at the University of Cincinnati when he joined the military during World War II.

He lost only one fight as an amateur boxer.

When Lewis Osborne was a U. S. Army Private, he was unfairly ridden beyond discipline by a Sergeant Sorry.

Lewis Osborne challenged the sergeant to a boxing match.

After Lewis Osborne beat him up and won in the ring, Sergeant Sorry immediately stopped his antics against Lewis Osborne.

After this, the U. S. Army promoted Lewis Osborne to officer training school.

After his training, he became a famous pilot.

The generals had him fly them to where they needed to go in dangerous weather.

Lewis Osborne was sent by the military through Europe, Africa, and then Asia.

After World War II Lewis Osborne, though in the military, was made hotel manager for the tallest hotel in Shanghai, China.

The military wanted him to stay in China and he was offered an increase in military rank, but he declined, because it had been too long since he had seen his wife on the other side of the world,

Mrs. Phoebe Colbert Osborne is his wife, who you will see later in the film and was in a movie with Russ Tamblyn (who was with Victor Mature in “Samson and Delilah”, John Wayne in “How The West Was Won”, and was head of the Jets in the “West Side Story”).

Toward the end of The 7th Best Pilot In The Army Air Corp Movie is the wedding between Charles Woodyard (who was a tailgunner against the Nazis in Europe from Williamstown, Kentucky [where Ken Ham from Australia built the 800 acre Ark Encounter theme park] and later Charles Woodyard was the contractor, who put the lighting in Fulton County Stadium and some of the skyscrapers in Atlanta, Georgia) and Mrs. Phoebe Colbert Osborne’s sister, Marian Colbert Woodyard (who later gave tours of the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, while Jimmy Carter was governor and campaigned for Ronald Reagan).

There are other notable people in this movie, as well.

The vintage aircraft has been popular with historians who have enjoyed the movie, and I was told to leave any diagonal lines in the movie, because of authenticity.

The last full scene is Lewis Osborne getting into a fighter plane.

Lewis Osborne and Phoebe Colbert Osborne are my parents,  Brother Phil Osborne.

There is a moment of silence at the end of the movie.

+

The main Music with the 7th Best Pilot In The Army Air Corps movie is played, Sung, and mostly written by Brenda  Sheets, which she made in Arizona for me and now for this historical film.

A pastor, who owned 7 radio stations, told me her music is Anointed (from God), even though I knew this years before.

I first met Brenda at a church I was visiting in Newport, Kentucky.

She is blind since birth.

Her Music also touched my soul.

She was on her way to Arizona from New York City, where she had  been in worship services with Christian Russian immigrants.

+

When Brenda was a teenager she was not a Christian and was taking illegal drugs; but, fortunately, she stopped sinning, asked God, The Father for forgiveness, successfully asked Jesus, The Faithful And True Witness into her heart.

She was involved in the beginning of Teen Challenge.

David Wilkerson was from a different part of the country and read about the violent street gangs of  New York City.

He decided to stop it, so he traveled with God to New York City and confronted the gangs with the Gospel.

Much is history now and many gang members got Saved.

[A movie was made about him, “The Cross And The Switchblade” with Pat Boone starring as David Wilkerson.]

David Wilkerson founded Teen Challenge, which is now across the country, because the success rate of getting people off of hard core drugs has been around 90%, because the Savior, Jesus is involved in it.

After this The Comforter, The Holy Spirit worked a Miracle and had Brenda Sheets supernaturally speak in Hebrew!

She did not know what she was saying until someone, who knew Hebrew (a complex language), told her what she was saying.

She went to Israel and learned in just a few months Hebrew fluently!

And even after this, The Holy Spirit worked another miracle for her and had Brenda supernaturally speak Russian!

Again she did not know what she was speaking!

With the Help Of The Holy Spirit she knows Russian (another complex language) fluently!

This obedient to Jesus woman went to Israel, when a multitude of Jews were allowed to finally leave the Soviet Union to Israel.

These many Russian Jews did not know Israel’s language, Hebrew, nor did they know Jesus, Yeshua, The Messiah, The Christ personally before entering Israel.

Guess who checked these Russian immigrants into Israel?

Brenda Sheets! who knows Russian, knows Hebrew, and was a fine witness for Jesus, Yeshua!

Sid Roth, founder and host of It’s Supernatural, has rightfully said that of all the Jewish groups — the group with the largest percentage of Christians is the Jews and their descendants that left Russia!

Thank You, God, The Father, thank You, Jesus, The Lord Of Lords, thank You, The Holy Spirit, and thank you, Brenda Sheets, blind since birth!

Brenda Sheets Sings these Miracle Songs from her soul.

The last Song in the movie is written and Sung by Linda Remley, whose husband, Rick Remley, is a hero becoming disabled saving someone else.

Filmed in the 1940s in B & W and color.

The movie is with Lewis Osborne, the 7th best pilot in the Army Air Corps.

The 1st “pause” (in the upper left hand of the screen) of the movie is William H. Colbert, meeting Dad about half way around the world, who is his brother-in-law.

The 2nd “pause” in the movie is Shirley Ratcliff, in the Navy uniform on the left with glasses (who is Dad’s cousin and grew up near each other in Covington, Kentucky) meeting Dad in Shanghai, China.

The 3rd “pause” in the movie is William H. Colbert stateside, who became a sought after mechanical engineer (filmed by Dad), on the left, and on the right is another of Dad’s brother-in-laws, Robert Upham, who was like Bob Hope (whom Dad attended a golf outing with), and became an executive with Oldsmobile.

The 4th (and last) “pause” in the movie is Shirley Ratcliff on the right getting off the plane at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the man on the left is John Samuel Osborne, my Granddad and Dad’s Dad.

The movie is coarse in the beginning, but enriching.

The movie is aesthetically relaxing.

In  The 7th Best Pilot In The Army Air Corp Movie, Reel Five, you will see a wealthy woman dressed in black talking into an advanced portable telephone, while walking on a sidewalk in Shanghai, China — a half century before the cell phone.

+

Mrs. Cora Osborne my Grandmother, was giving birth in her house, when the fiendish doctor told her:  He’s too big for you — let me slice him up.

She would not let her baby be killed and made it known she would die for her child.

Lewis Osborne was then born in the house of his parents, Samuel & Cora Osborne, and became the famous 7th best pilot and later settled in Northern Kentucky, where he later fought the Mafia.

Less than a half of a mile from the house where Lewis Osborne was born, a movie was filmed that was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Art Director and Best Music and Best Film Editing.

The movie won the Academy Award for Best Writing for a Screen Play, the Academy Award for Best Director, the Academy Award for Best Actor, and the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Mrs. Cora Osborne lived to be 60 to 70 years old.

You will see her, in Reel Twelve of The 7th Best Pilot In The Army Air Corp Movie, being handed the handle of a garden tool, and it appears to be on a well deserved Mother’s Day.

Love.

Honor.

+

 Why do I have this honor, that the mother of my LORD should come to me?  As soon as I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. 

Luke 1:43, 44 (CEB)

Yet YOU desired faithfulness even in the womb; YOU taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Psalm 51:6 (NIV)

+

Phil Keaggy won the international Dove Award for the Instrumental Album of the Year for 7 years.

Phil Keaggy Sings this violent Song in such a way that we can relate to the baby and GOD:

 

+

 

+

Praise The Lord!

Sing to The Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.

Psalm 149:1 (NKJV)

______________________

Mr. & Mrs. (Phoebe) Lewis Frasier Osborne settled into Fort Thomas, Kentucky, which is next to the Ohio River and above the Lunken Airport.

Down river, next to Fort Thomas, is Newport, Kentucky, which was notorious for stupid criminals.

While Fort Thomas was the safest place to live in greater Cincinnati, Newport was not.

The Syndicate, a branch of the Mafia, controlled Newport.

In the 1960’s the gangsters were openly carrying Tommy guns in Newport.

My parents, Lewis & Phoebe Osborne had had enough.

They met with their neighbors and they brought in an outsider, George Ratterman, a former quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, to run for sheriff of the county.

+

The government, including the Campbell County sheriff and its deputies and the Newport police, betrayed the citizens they were to protect did the opposite taking bribes of money, sex, and material from the Mafia Syndicate.

(Since the increased international travel during the continuing sinful sexual “revolution” against GOD, there are over 50 different sexually transmitted diseases in the United States, which are hellish and too many are deadly, and rubbers don’t do the job percentage wise, with the Centers for Disease Control showing that as of 2015, over 100 million people in the USA have sexually transmitted diseases.

Back then, there was only gonorrhea (“clap”) and syphilis (which eats out the brain).

A number of the corrupt policemen and government officials deservedly got gonorrhea and syphilis from the prostitutes as “favors” from the gangsters.

One of the gangsters name  was “Screw” Andrews.

+

Will You permit a corrupt government to rule under Your protection — a government permitting wrong to defeat right?

Psalm 94:20 (TLB)

+

The Syndicate tried to frame George Ratterman, but the people voted, and he won the election, and brought about sweeping changes.

The Syndicate left Kentucky taking, The Flamingo, The Stardust, and their Tommy guns with them.

Henry Hosea and a number of Christians in Fort Thomas had a great deal to do with the success with Lewis and Phoebe Osborne.

United States Attorney General Robert Kennedy came down to Newport in the end, when the glory was going on from the defeat of all the gangsters.

US AG Bobby Kennedy hand-typed an after hours letter to Lewis Osborne from Washington, DC.

+

Mrs. Phoebe Osborne was a beloved 5th grade instructor for years into the 1990’s and had full books of the Bible in her classroom, even though the government doesn’t like it.

She was 5 hours in credits away from starting a thesis for a PhD.

Once she became sick and her students came 2 miles from the school to her home and gave her love notes.

+

Mr. Lewis Osborne became an elder in his church.

He has been honored by a number of countries, and a number of his belongings are in a museum in Greece.

The final and most important verse of The Star-Spangled Banner — written by Francis Scott Key:

O thus be it ever when free men shall stand,

Between their loved home and the war’s desolation;

Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land,

Praise THE POWER that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just;

And this be our motto “In GOD is our trust”!

And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,

Over the land of the free and home of the brave!

  1. It is a Miracle that Brenda Sheets was able to speak Hebrew through God!

    It’s, also, beautiful that she is able to share her music to the public and spread the word of God through it.

    What a beautiful soul and voice, especially in the song, “Elohim”!

    Gabriel

  2. Pray for God’s protection and guidance for the Christian men and women in the army.

  3. I felt the Song, “Praise”, told the truth on how GOD forgives us for our sins!

    Thank you GOD for loving us!

    Ken’Lisha

  4. “Do You Know Who I Am” — I like the 8-bit and the whistle there in this Song,
    that it says Peter saying that JESUS is THE MESSIAH,
    and GOD saying you know WHO HE is. – Kenneth

  5. We should pray for our people all the time in the military for they face unfair laws not allowing them to pray in JESUS’s Name in public.

    Alyssa from Beaumont, Texas

  6. We should Pray for our Christian soldiers to get them through the battle.

  7. General George Marshall was my relative and was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Service Medal.

    He was the first in the history of our country to become a five star general.

    Prime Minister Winston Churchill said General George Marshall was the “organizer of victory’ in World War II.

    Time Magazine named General Marshall its Man of the Year in 1943.

    “The third area I would like to discuss has to do with the problem of the millions who live under subnormal conditions,
    and who have now come to a realization that they may aspire to a fair share of the GOD Given rights of human beings.”,
    5 Star General George C. Marshall during his acceptance of the Nobel Prize.

    General Marshall became the Army Chief of Staff and was five star General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s superior.

    Eisenhower said,
    “It is a high privilege for me,
    once again,
    to pay a simple tribute to General George C. Marshall.

    This time I do so in terms of my personal contacts with him.

    A few of his characteristics are uppermost in my memory,
    and on these I shall dwell.

    They include his consideration for others;
    his clear, direct, and logical approach to any major military problem;
    his complete, single-minded dedication and loyalty to his country and government;
    and his selflessness and objectivity in making decisions and in courageously discharging his vitally important duties.
    ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
    In early conferences of the American Chiefs of Staff and, later,
    of the combined Chiefs of Staff —- which meetings I attended as one of his assistants —- he quickly established himself as the dominant figure.

    His vision was so clear,
    his grasp of complex issues so instinctive and precise,
    and his convictions so strong,
    that he was almost invariably the leader in discussions and in resultant decisions.

    In all Allied meetings in which I was present with him this continued throughout the war;
    his complete absorption in the task at hand was apparent to all.”

    “With unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight,
    we will,
    with GOD’s Help,
    go forward to our greatest victory.”

    5 Star General Dwight D. Eisenhower
    Supreme Allied Commander
    December 22, 1944

    Chaplain Phil Osborne ✝

  8. Share in suffering as a good soldier of CHRIST JESUS.

    No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life;
    he seeks to please the commanding officer.

    2 Timothy 2:3,4 (CSB)
