No Military Secrets.
Director Mike Curtiz learned upon

the first picture filmed under virtual
wartime restrictions. He even found
Uncle Sam, politely but persistently,
reading the script over his shoulder

the best close-ups yet filmed of
long-range Seaplane bombers which
have established many maSs-flight

No Time Wasted.
The Navy doesn't waste time. For
