Henry Hathaway's well-regarded World War 2 drama is set on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. As the US pilots struggle to play their part in the war and the death toll rises, they begin to doubt their tough flight officer (Don Ameche) but when the battle tide turns they realise he was right all along. Noted for its well-qualified cast and unsentimental direction, the film combines wartime footage and studio set-pieces to recreate the battle action.
