Scott reflects on his role in introducing aircraft carriers to the U.S. Navy.   After World War I, there was a general downsizing of the military.   There were only limited opportunities to create a carrier bound air capability.  The aircraft were not designed specifically for landing on a flat top and several death occur during training.  Over the years however, Scott is one of several men who pursue their dream of aircraft carriers and aircraft specifically designed for that purpose.   Their worth is proved in World War II at the Battle of Midway and throughout the war.   This has been one of my all time favorite war/navy movies because of the use film of the USS Langley, USS Lexington and USS Saratoga.   Plus other actual combat film.  This is one of Gary Cooper's best roles and movies.  Stars  Gary Cooper, Jane Wyatt, Wayne Morris & many other fine actors. Movie Trivia Wayne Morris who portrayed Lt.McKinney was the only actor in the cast who had actual combat experience as a carrier pilot in WWII . As a fighter pilot, Morris shot down seven enemy planes and contributed to the sinking of five enemy ships. He was awarded four Distinguished Flying Crosses and two Air Medals. He was the only combat "ace" of all the Hollywood actors who went to war. At the Washington party, Colonel Billy Mitchell is mentioned by name. Cooper later played Mitchell in "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell" (1955). Cooper's character also gets into trouble for mentioning the Japanese as a potential threat to the United States, one of the things Mitchell got into trouble for. The entire film is in black and white except for the last 18 minutes which were shot in color. In the film, Gary Cooper is offered a copy of the book "A Farewell To Arms" by a fellow officer. Cooper starred in the 1932 film adaptation of Hemingway's novel. The technical advisor, Capt. S.G. Mitchell, was commanding officer of the fighter squadron aboard USS Hornet (CV-8) at the Battle of Midway, which is portrayed in the movie. He ran his planes out of fuel, resulting in all ten aircraft lost and two pilots drowned. The Hornet does not appear in this film because the point of view is largely from the Yorktown (CV-5), which was sunk in the battle. However, one of the senior aviators, McCluskey, (played by Bruce Bennett), is a clear reference to the Enterprise (CV-6) air group commander, Clarence Wade McClusky. From the hull number on the bow during Scott's retirement and another shot later on, it would appear that much of the shipboard filming was done aboard USS Antietam (CV-36). The final scenes of the movie abroad the badly damaged aircraft carrier commanded by Captain Scott (Gary Cooper) was based on the USS Franklin (CV-13) and the footage used in the film were clips of the Franklin being attacked, recovered, and steaming back in to her home port in Brooklyn, New York.
