5.0 out of 5 stars Great War Story and More..., February 14, 2002

This review is from: God Is My Co-Pilot (Paperback)

My Mom introduced this book to me when I first was developing an interest in WWII. I couldn't put it down. The story of Colonel Scott form learning how to fly, his cancelled B-17 mission, and his actions with the Flying Tigers makes for exciting reading. I enjoed the book and still have the old copy. One thing to keep in mid while you read this is that fact that it IS a war story. One shouldn't expect a love for the enemy in a war story, (I never read one that did). It simply displays the attitudes people had back then.
There many great stories in the actions of the Flying Tigers, and this is one of them. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read war stories. The adventure of Colonel Scott and his P-40 was great to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars God Is My Co-Pilot, October 9, 2001

This review is from: God Is My Co-Pilot (Paperback)

This book is great reading. It tells the personal account of a man who above all things wishes to fly. He takes his flying skills to their limit to help defend Freedom. The book shows the feelings and events that took place during a terrible time in history. To further prove how enjoyable this book was, I am the type of individual who would rather watch a move than read a book. There are few books that can capture my attention long enough for me to finish it and this was one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars What every "action" movie aspires to be!, February 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: God Is My Co-Pilot (Paperback)

I first read this book some thirty years ago. Col. Scott's vivid word pictures captivated the 7th grader that I was and I became an avid reader, and a thinker of bigger thoughts. This is not your typical shoot'm'up war story. It's not a Clancy-ish techno war thriller. This is a first hand account of the men that went to China's aide in the early 1940's. It is a snapshot of the personalities and hardships of these heros, and combines action with the beauty the Chinese people and their land. I'm proud that Robert L. Scott is an American, and I'm grateful the he put his experiences and obsevations on paper.
