The Navy made a propaganda film so cool, it accidentally became cinema.
This fine documentary was produced by the Department of the Navy to celebrate the first 50 years of carrier based aviation, with an emphasis on World War 2 operations. The Navy Archives were opened to provide footage ranging from precarious landings on the old Langley, to the Battle of the Coral Sea, to CVEs facing the Japanese at Leyte Gulf, Midway and much more.
Practical Effects
Real WWII carrier footage that no CGI could ever touch.
Production
Navy Archives opened wide—rare access to operational film.
