Shot on Saratoga. Loads of Curtis Helldivers. Pilot develops blind landing equipment, saves his CO, gets accepted, wins the girl. British, a few good shots of Ark Royal, Swordfish, Skuas, Barracudas, etc. Only Avengers flew at Midway, and they were land based.
Newsreel footage is well integrated, along with some model work.
Includes shots of rare hangar deck cat shot and over the bow Avenger landings. Story of PBY crew shot down off Tulgai, telling their story through flash-backs. Used 2 PBY's brought out of mothballs. Plenty of CAG-19 Corsairs and Avengers. Apparently shot on Oriskany as well.
