Hi.

Ohh.

Ohh.

Ohh.

You know you.

We are the champion.

Together

now.

Never.

Yah.

hello

Front.

We are together.

Back.

One egg.

You wouldn't need to shoot.

You are falling.

You better run, I said.

Run.

How they don't care over there.

In the transfer.

Lieutenant Tom hudner.

Jessie Brown.

It's good to meet you.

When you come in from Pearl Harbour.

Fine Bearcats.

Sky Raiders out of profile flights tracking torpedoes.

Post war busy work.

You're buying the big show.

I did not.

Then you'll fit right in.

What are you talking?

Should be gratefully from seeing any action at all.

Just don't want clean sheets, Carol.

Hey, you must be the new guy, Marty.

Good with the knee.

You mean G at the end?

Jesus, don't tell me another one of these country boys.

All right, Marty, watch yourself.

And this is Jerry.

Or crowd Fritz hiney.

They all work.

Nice to meet you in regardless of what you hear.

The name's Carol Moran.

Pleasure to meet you.

Now there's a site.

Good to see you, though.

To see you.

Yes, it's Tom hudner.

We were in Pensacola together.

Hella stick.

Pretty face too.

Almost too pretty.

You boys sound lonely.

Welcome to VF32.

something

mark

Kind.

Stalling in the Soviets field tested their own bomb.

Wouldn't you know it?

The same design as ours.

I'd say that they're hot on our heels with this footage

is already six months old.

Won't be long before they strap that thing to a bomber.

Ohh.

Get that for me, would you?

So.

Now you know.

Fellas are not just here to fly and screw.

Because they're not sitting idle.

But with practise, there is not a pilot

on this planet who can wipe the ass of the United States naval aviator,

and I truly believe that that's right.

Now, pops Kenny, you got mooring.

Labory, you've got good and some brown,

you've got Lieutenant Hudner today.

Yes, Sir.

Have fun.

Matt's take calaway.

Alright, maps out, lights on, let's go.

Google.

Really warm out for walk.

Part of my kit.

Never know when you'll need.

I'll try to keep on showing up Canada.

I'm trying.

Watch your prompt.

Try not to cut off my wing.

We're taking a slight detour on the way home, trying to keep up again.

What the hell are you doing?

You still with me?

I've been hard on Michael.

Ready exam.

Any detours you want to make?

Pretty slick flying for Nat hop.

Off another plane.

Can't learn everything from a book.

Or at the Academy.

Ohh, there's no on the plane and it's flat.

Adding, what do you look find out about your wingman cruising

at 10,000 feet, Lieutenant?

Put them in a little bit of trouble.

Who knows, you might get to pick up who he really is.

I'm going to buy you beer.

Planning to talk about between who I am and not get each other killed on that box.

Sounds nice, Lieutenant,

but don't drink.

You can see light on.

I did.

Ohh.

Shower time, boys.

All right.

Phone up and see boys.

So the gold streams are right.

It tends to be a little busy on locals.

But a lot of college girls like to go out on school nights,

so now is good on Thursdays.

Denver's is the move to make on Saturdays

and Sundays, if you don't mind me coming.

Just think of that as an investment though.

But I gotta warn you, no matter where you go,

it is rough these days.

All right, girls around here do not go for participation medals,

despite what they say.

They are looking for that war 10.

That he wrote him.

Here, that's only symbolic.

Got made across, he's got a wife.

Might be connected.

Well, you ain't married, are you?

I'll start with the Navy and figure out the rest later.

Smart man.

How did you come in?

We'll play the Academy right after Pearl Harbour.

I wanted to help.

We all did.

But yeah,

show up to find the heroes are made, the fleets mothballed.

Or ended a month before I graduated.

I suppose we were born a few years too late.

We're too early.

The whole world is looking different.

How did you even think that you'd be in the squadron with a coloured aviator?

Well, I didn't come here naughty.

Here's that alright.

How it clamps?

Yeah.

The man.

Hi.

You are just in time to get dinner together.

Around.

But

may I have a dance first?

Ohh.

I saw a neighbour on my way again.

After this morning, she looked like a nice woman.

You look nice, didn't I?

What you look like.

Mean old man.

These.

Ohh.

Come on.

That's cheap.

Straight.

The numbers, darling.

You going to make your payment?

I'm going to pay one of my babies.

You.

Incoming.

I know how can fly.

They

wanted to let you got there.

There you go.

Okay.

We surrender.

Well, it was well fought, soldier, but sadly, you were okay.

Often.

I'll feel loud in here.

Neighbours have always complained.

Must have been a nice looking one.

Morning boy.

Seems one of our reconnaissance planes went down over the Baltic a few days ago.

Now, what you won't see here

in the newspaper is the photos the Pentagon has.

Maybe flight uniforms washed up on the shore

and the landing gear which is absolutely riddled with bullets.

That is more than a quiet act of aggression.

Washington wants us ready to respond to the Russians.

And.

This is what we're gonna get ready with.

Say hello to the F4U Corsair

through the hog a little after the war of the Navy's gone

and made them fatter and meaner.

Now I know what the Corsair will be new for a lot of you.

But don't worry, just like yours truly,

she under stripes in the big show.

Now this is a plane that will get your hands dirty.

You're going to be so close to the action.

Going to start to think that you made the mistake of joining the army.

I got to mention she's got a rather unfortunate nickname.

The widow maker.

Good thing I ain't pitched well.

They also call it the incident eliminator.

This engine is one of the most powerful things you'll ever fly behind you.

Throttle it too hard, you'll spin you over.

He's got enough torque to flip a house, so go easy on the power.

Keg wants us up to speed and fast,

so manuals are getting dropped off in the ready room.

Any other questions?

God help you take him up with the good professor Kenny here.

All right.

Ohh, she looks pretty now.

Professor Kay, she's asking party

how about you don't know what you're doing this thing?

Little left.

Guy said you had family.

Never.

Across the Bay and Fall River.

They must be happy.

Having him back,

I think they'd be a little happier if I were coming back to work for the family.

Supposed to take over my old man's grocery stores.

But I'm just called to adventure.

What about you?

What brought you here?

Always wanted to fly?

Want to fly with the best pilots flew.

That they needed.

Actually, I'm a horse.

Mam.

I'm hungry.

Daisy.

Can I get you something to drink?

I'm sure Lieutenant Hudner has plans.

Better be getting back, man.

Beautiful house, by the way.

Nice to see you from the ground.

Thank you.

So nice.

Play 9.

I don't know about him.

Yeah.

That's our car.

Well, I've been sleeping.

No, no sound Rd.

Ben.

Tyler, probably go.

Stand by your cheque.

Stand by for track time.

I think she likes me.

Famous last words.

She's not going to bite.

You know, it's not in the manual.

How big this damn nose is.

How the hell you supposed to land on a carrier

if you can't see it about everything from the same place, Carol,

but everything's the same?

Just in different places.

Hey, you know I crashed the BearCat

when I was learning to fly.

You like a bed, not let good here.

You say that too late.

Many outstanding fighter pilot achievements may seem almost unbelievable.

But once you have learned how they accomplished these victories

and the system they use, you'll realise it's

just a trick of the trade carried out by fighting man

with the ability and know how that it takes to win aerial battles.

The keynote of minor tactics in the United States Navy today is teamwork.

Teamwork, coordination, cooperation.

Call it what you will use.

The fighter is great value and escorting bombers

and talking to friends from their missions.

In enabling fighters to protect other fighters

in winning engagements,

that may mean the losing or the saving on a carriage.

You have to fight them with your hand.

Using your judgement.

I'm playing Halo.

And your superior Gary had turned the odds in your favour.

It's a matter of life insurance to make every split second count.

Contact.

As you were a gentleman as you were.

I'm captain Thomas's.

And I command the US-led.

By now we have learned that the Soviets are jockeying for a warm water port

in the Mediterranean.

Now they think they can bully their way into Europe

and spook our new NATO allies.

Well, DC thinks it's best that we prevent them from doing so.

We are crewing up to keep the Cold War from turning hot,

and savoury here tells me this is the best place to do.

So we ship out next week.

ohh

Look forward to having you on board.

All right.

Remember when I told you to get up to speed and fast?

I meant speedier and faster.

Carrier calls are at the end of the week.

You can't land a Corsair on the lazy.

You get yourself a nice dry land job in Topeka or someplace even shittier.

God help you.

Either way.

Start setting up your bar tab boys.

We are leaving Rhode Island.

Just because I'm going doesn't mean I'm fighting Daisy.

This is the deal, darling.

However.

When is daylight come?

Yeah, doesn't make it any easier.

But we'll be okay.

Where?

Okay.

Tessa, what's going on?

Honestly.

Amazon leading the course Edma.

You've never been a plane you couldn't land, Jesse.

Displaying.

Beautifully.

I can't see that I can't have a bad guy.

Folks were instincts.

The United States.

I'm one of the few things in this world that I trust.

And if you can't trust that plane,

you got to put it in whatever get you down safe.

Yes, mam.

You ready, Carol?

I'm trying to get Bob Martin.

First night voice broadcast then.

You ain't shit.

You would never lie in that plane.

Boy.

Your monkey ass shouldn't even be flying.

station

Add hudner.

You're not gonna approach.

Just keep an eye on the.

All right, pretty boy.

Hi.

Three to one he messages.

Take the action.

Almost 50 splashes.

Christ, we don't want him dead.

It's like they want to see Jackie Robinson steal home.

and

That's a shit approach.

Come on, get your nose up.

Actually listening to the other song.

now

I'm coming back around.

Stand by.

don't

You're not the grooms.

ohh

Hello.

All right, Jessie.

Doesn't matter how you did, it just matters that you got down.

Bella's.

You all passed your carrier quals.

Top marks go to Lieutenant Hudner with the only perfect grade,

which brings us to Anson Brown, dnk UA.

Enjoy tonight, boys.

We ship out in the morning and now it's the time.

If you haven't already, get all your affairs in order.

All right.

That was some landing.

Just trying to keep it interesting.

Get your car fixed yet.

You headed to the bar, you guys?

I don't think so.

Want to come in?

Hey, Daisy.

Yes.

What did I tell you?

Yes, mam.

Let me go.

Nice to see you again.

You as well.

Ohh.

Oh, which one do you like?

The blue one.

Agreement.

Great.

A good day.

Yeah.

What'd you do?

You don't remember?

There you are.

Thought Jesse didn't drink?

He does.

Your husband's quite the aviator.

Well, you must feel the same way about you.

Because you and Carol Moring are the only boys in 532

that he has ever invited over.

It's good to know the man you're flying with.

See what they're fighting for?

I like that.

What about you, Tom?

What are you fighting for?

God, country and honest.

You know, Miss Brown, I'm.

Hoping to find that out.

Don't be fooled by his strong side neck by the way he trusts you.

That's always the funniest man you'll ever know.

I can't say you showed me that side yet.

Something to look forward to.

Well, you have to spend a lot of time together.

A lot of time in very small spaces.

May I ask you a favour?

Of course.

Second, he steps on her shit and then start playing.

I can't protect him anymore.

So I need you to be there for my dressing.

Okay.

Okay.

Good.

That was good then.

Ohh.

Who is this?

This is Ben.

Hi, Pam.

I don't think she wants to embarrass you later.

It's too late.

See my old stick?

Better than you, okay.

Well, I know it's our last night here, so I'll let you all enjoy it together.

Thank you again for the drink.

You're very welcome.

Just be careful.

First thing that can happen to me is a bad sunburn.

You come back in black.

You like long come home.

Did you take me to the Bahamas when you get back?

If I get some short time,

I'll get you one of those European swimsuits.

One of those two piece things.

Today.

You know you can always come back here and leave to me.

I'm only 5000 miles that way.

I'll wait then.

The only person I ever met.

Following this guy.

Just remember, you belong down here with us too, okay.

Richie every week.

I know you will.

Ohh.

Secure.

Secure for general quarters.

And you'd be faster if we did this in the middle of the night.

You don't seem to understand is that someday soon this is going to be real,

and you have to do a hell of a lot better than that.

Yes, Sir.

All right.

I am getting tired of getting ready,

tired of living in this flowing sardine can you smelling

like one men's smell like something to look forward to one day.

Fritz most excited we've seen in days, and some brown.

Speak to you for a moment.

Define what you wish for.

My son.

Ohh.

We have to do this about that.

Yeah.

It's great having you right in front of your plane.

Relax.

You look great.

What's going on?

Life magazine is here.

Guess the Pentagon wanted something positive for the folks back home.

Help them swallow the pill and other potential war.

What better way than black men makes good doesn't make a nice stroking boy,

you ought to be proud you get.

Shut up though.

Commanding officer called you one of the best pilots you've ever seen,

regardless of colour.

And that's kind of him to say.

But I can't say I'm special.

Must be hard, right?

It must be hard being the unable aviator, absolutely.

Landing planes on carriers it's the.

It's the toughest job there is, red one wearing wings.

Come on, handsome brand.

You know what I guess is fine.

OK, Jesse.

Just lonely guys with different backgrounds.

There's only one youth.

There's only one YouTube.

Sorry.

Look, I I mean no disrespect, but.

I don't think I'm going to say what you're looking for me to say.

All right.

I'll work hard to find you playing this all I've ever wanted to do.

Harder than I can put into words.

Jesse.

If you want pictures of Jessie Display, ohh no.

I gotta get my pilots back to work.

I will just take a minute with tenant with Jennie Commander.

Have a nice day.

Then Jesse, you just put a letter in the middle,

why don't we?

Well, that told him.

Now he's trying to slow down.

Ohh, gotcha.

Little Circus act upon that.

Your boy jungle, too.

Guess not.

We should have set up in that asshole.

Good, Tom.

I'm just saying we shouldn't let him run his mouth like that.

Now I know that you're all sick of doing busy work,

but ohh have I got a chore for a lucky someone.

Not it.

Maintenance is replaced in gym on one of the Corsair

and need to volunteer to make sure all is working well.

It's just a quick up and down.

I thought you said lucky.

It sounds like a hoot.

I'll give it to Fritz.

He could use landing.

I'll do it.

All right.

Actually.

If you don't mind, Lieutenant.

Average, right.

For once, of course I'm right.

I could use a track.

All yours, Kyle.

Here.

Morning.

Morning.

It is all right now As for the rest of you.

Command has ordered an audit on serial numbers

on parts across all of the planes.

So while mooring is up there

enjoying the sightseeing,

the rest of you can validate all of the serial numbers

on every single one of these maintenance orders.

Thank you, Matthew.

Sir, got to take all day only if you work quick.

That's morning.

You're clear to test the genre.

217.

Charles used to be in working order.

Action.

just

I'm correcting.

Manufacture number.

55184.

What is it?

I gotta make the deck, he'll make it.

It's got to slowly pulling the power on this approach.

Better the wave off.

Try again.

standby

Go around, pal.

Is it on morning?

Give me some altitude.

ohh

Pull on the power of 2 Indian face.

People are gonna tell you that this is what you signed up for.

It's not.

Let's be real clear.

We lost a friend.

And that is not easy.

No.

The Navy is going to do what the Navy does.

But Ohh right his family.

So the mistakes.

The guys are getting together.

Just because you think you know better doesn't mean you have to say anything.

What are you talking about?

Kyle had been 1/5 seconds

before you were talking about what he could have done better.

We all make mistakes that could have been made.

Don't let that rink that you otherwise.

The one thing they told us about, of course.

Remind me, what's the one thing they told you about that?

That's wrong.

Mistakes gets killed, Jesse.

You don't die if you do what you're told.

That was.

Come on.

To Carol.

We're not even a war and we're losing men.

Good men.

Which is a tough pill to swallow, and there's nothing to blame.

The swim test in flight school.

They made me do it 10 times.

Didn't believe her could swim.

It doesn't ice in the water.

Put weight on my flight to.

Help me under.

They wouldn't care if I died in that pool.

But every time.

I made it up.

I used to fly in the air cat.

See everything.

Deck on approach.

All right in front of you.

I get landed on my front yard if I had.

But the courts there?

I can't see anything.

You have to rely on the help itself.

Leave the LSL won't crash my black ass on purpose.

Can't tell you how many times people have told me to give up quick.

That I even.

That's why you can't always do what you're told.

If I did, I wouldn't be here.

As of now, was trying to teach boy.

You guys are tired.

I see it now.

I am too been a rough few weeks.

Fortunately, we are docking in can for a little shore leave.

I don't know about you, but I think some fresh air would do all of us some good.

Obviously ship rules follow you ashore.

Liberty expires at 2300.

You are foreigners in a foreign city and you look the part.

So please Marty, please, dear God, don't do anything stupid.

Ohh.

And no, I don't want to come with you

and do whatever it is that you're going to do, but thank you.

Go away.

Unless you probably catch you selling those to the locals.

Let me tell you something.

I've been in the Navy since I was 16.

My work is a dangerous one.

One more tomorrow's never promised.

Tell tomorrow's barely a gentlemen's agreement.

So there's liberty to be had.

And liberty we should take.

2000 packets take a rest.

Since you were ourselves, voice, why would insist?

One in France.

There he is.

Ohh.

The Boulevard they lock or something?

Ready.

Sailors on this street.

Doesn't look like a street with a warehouse on it.

Now you're having a scratch and game for these fine European women.

Hey, I'm here to drink,

so just point me in that direction for the first bar we find.

Then you guys go ahead.

I gotta find something, Daisy.

I'll get you all right, and don't forget the Lacy bits.

Funny.
