WWII war flick. Dana Andrews and Don Ameche. The American navy is trying to trick the Japs into thinking they are chicken and also that they are scattered so that the Japs will attack Midway. This is the story of the fighter pilots on a ship forced to not shoot at Japs. That very fact makes them edgy. Add to that taking casualties, because they are playing defense without any offense. Don Ameche, hard nosed commander. Under him, Dana Andrews, who feels for his men, but must still impose discipline. One of the men, an academy award winning actor (who gets bagloads of fan mail). Another man, a guy who suffers from shock as an aftermath of Pearl Harbor. They participate in the battle of Midway. The shock sufferer dives into the path of a torpedo in order to save the destroyer and the oscar winner ditches his plane but gets picked up.
