  Real World War II combat footage is a highlight in this story that takes place shortly after Pearl Harbor. An aircraft carrier is deployed to the South Pacific as the U.S. prepares for the Battle of Midway. Don Ameche is effective as the tough flight squadron commander, and an Oscar nomination was received for the well-researched screenplay.
