In more modern times, gremlins are said to be more mechanically oriented creatures. They are said to have haunted and sabotaged aircraft during World War II. A 1942 article in the Royal Air Force Journal mentions gremlins as the cause of accidents that occured during flights. One Air Force crewman swore he saw creatures tinkering with the engine  before a malfunction caused the bomber to lose altitude rapidly, forcing it to return to base.
