Robert Lee Scott (Jr) (1908-2006) |
|
- Dennis Morgan, God Is My Co-Pilot, 1944. Warner’s first choice for the Robert Lee Scott Jr biopic was Gary Cooper. Then, Humphrey Bogart or Cary Grant… or even Scott, himself. Colonel Scott was a WWII USAF fighter pilot hero - his dream, since the age of eight. He was the film’s technical advisor. Well, he was one of America’s first WWII’s first flying aces: 388 combat missions in 925 hours during 1942-1943, downing 13 Japanese planes. (A 1989 episode of the Coming of Age series, was called Todd Is My Co-Pilot).
