Book Reviews of God Is My Co-Pilot
Book Review: Many obviously not students of WWII history, sadly.
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book many years ago on a recommendation from a friend. I am a pilot and my grandfather a fighter pilot during World War II. I recall this book being a good read from that perspective.
My two cents are that if you are not a student of World War II American History, you aren't qualified to comment on items in the context of WWII. I for one am, and could type all day and not make many of you aware of the horrors visited on those fighting with or conqured by the Japanese Army of the day. Needless to say you will believe what you want to believe, especially the right-wing revisionists among you. Imagine that history only knows of the horrors (and their scope) as some poor surviving sole was able to disseminate them. Or that history is skewed in favor of the conquerors or revisionists that wrote it. That means that it is very likely that many of the horrors were far worse or just plain covered up. It only takes one, very graphic account, of Japanese soldiers carving babies out of pregnant women's bellies to make you begin to understand what I am talking about, to say nothing of the scum that participated in operations like Unit 731.
Be glad you didn't live then and have endure what many of our grandparents did, and that you benefited from their sacrifice. Who knows how you would have regarded the Japanese or the Germans or Italians had you fought them in World War II. I know veterans today, that abhor the Japanese to this day, and do I judge them for this seemingly racist bent. Hell no! No human should have had to see, hear and feel what they did. Do I begrudge them my admiration or respect? Again, Hell no! I am a veteran myself and if anything can identify with them.
