God is my Co-Pilot is the personal narrative of a man who has had one of the outstanding careers in American aviation. After Pearl Harbor, when he was marked too old for combat flying at 34, Colonel Robert L. Scott, Jr. refused to abandon his dream of a "mission against Tokyo." He did not ever fly against Tokyo, but over the Burma Road, and in enemy-occupied China he compiled a brilliant record as group commander of General Chennault's fighter forces--the dedicated veterans of the American Volunteer Group in China. The lives of the men in the group are crammed with excitement, hopes and frustrations, tragedy and humor. It was the first book to recount for Americans the daring and skill of their wartime pilots, an enormous best-seller, one of the really great stories of military aviation.
