This is a very good movie and I would like to see it put on DVD so it does not deteriorate.

Old Movie
I didn't like the movie much but then it wasn't for me. The person receiving it was thrilled. I was happy to find this movie available (from 1946). Delivery was fast and the used product was in the good condition the seller stated. Thanks.God Is My Co-Pilot (1945)
DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU READ THE BOOK!
I am a great fan of Robert L. Scott and have read his book a million times. However, if you want a movie that is historically accurate or follows the book this movie is from a definite Hollywood viewpoint being biased against Chenault and showing Scott as this sychotic, atheist freak who finally comes to a belief in some kind of god. Which to anyone who reads the book is complete nonsense.

Love those p-40's
Ever since I first saw this movie back in 1960, the P-40 has been my favorite fighter plane. I did alot of reading on the Flying Tigers and continue to search out new literature about them. This movie is much more accurate than the John Wayne film conerning time frames and dates. By the time Col Scott arrived on the scene, the Flying Tigers were flying the P-40E models you see in the film. There are some misconceptions about the Flying Tigers that these two films support that are simply not true. They were fighting the Japanese Army Air Force, not the Japanese Naval Air Force. As such, they were flying against KI-43 'Oscar' fighter planes, not Zero's. Secondly, although the Flying Tigers were in place before America entered the war, their actual first combat took place on December 20th, 13 days AFTER Pearl Harbor. Raymond Massey's advice to Dennis Morgan concerning combat tactics was true. Allied pilots who turned with a Japanese fighter on their tail often got shot down. The Japanese planes in the movie were actually AT6 Texans. The flight scenes were performed at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The movie deals with issues that I'm sure many combat veterans must have experienced, but doesn't get too sentimental. Since the Flying Tigers were our real first glimpse of success against the Japanese, it was fitting that they should be honored. Col Scott proved to be an excellent leader staying in China till the end helping Chenault. This movie in fun to watch not only for the flight scenes but also that period's view point of our enemy. Richard Loo, who played the Japanese ace 'Tokyo Joe' in this movie also played the Chinese doctor giving the physical exams in the John Wayne film. Also, the the English speaking Japanese radio announcer in the first part of this movie, Philip Ahn, also appeared in the film Battle Hymn with Rock Hudson. He also played various Korean characters in several tv episodes of M*A*S*H. The sounds of the planes and the machine guns seems accurate and the black and white format just makes this film more enjoyable. If you are a fan of combat aviation, or like films of the '40's, you will enjoy God is My Co-Pilot.God Is My Co-Pilot (1945)
