	Turner Classic Movies This Month Article
		Based on the memoirs of Colonel Scott, God Is My Co-Pilot (1945) chronicles the story of the Flying Tigers, with a special emphasis on the spiritual conflicts that go along with the life of a fighter pilot in wartime.
		Though critics of the time gave God Is My Co-Pilot lukewarm reviews, calling it mawkish and pedestrian, the film proved to be a hit with audiences.
		Indeed, it was the number-one film among GIs between the years l942 and l945, possibly because they understood the psychological and spiritual anguish of the film's characters.

		At 34, Scott was told he was too old to fly in combat, but he proved his worth as a member of the Flying Tigers.
		Such was the prevailing mood among filmgoers in 1943 that God Is My Co-Pilot was allowed to show a spiritual shaft of light in the sky and several scenes of enemy pilots spitting up blood when shot down by American bullets.
		Like most aerial combat films of the era, God Is My Co-Pilot soars highest when its characters stay off the ground and away from all that pontificating dialogue.
