Retired Brig. Gen. Robert L. Scott, the World War II P-40 ace who told of his exploits in the China-Burma-India theater in his book "God is My Co-Pilot," went west today at the age of 97.
I read a tattered paperback copy of "God Is My Co-Pilot" when I was ten. At that age, I thought that flying a P-40 in combat had to be one of the most exciting and intense things anybody could ever do. I still do.
Maybe it's time to read the book again -- not just because the author has left us, but because it truly is an interesting, inspiring story, and a reminder of how great the "greatest generation" was.
