Edward Steichen's Academy Award-winning documentary "The Fighting Lady" focuses on an aircraft carrier and its crew about to go into battle against Japanese forces. Obviously there's the usual dose of patriotism. A noticeable thing about this documentary is that it features John McCain Jr. (father of the Arizona senator).
I guess that one could justify the level of patriotism by the fact that in World War II, we declared war on the country that attacked us instead of targeting an unrelated country and leaving it in shambles (yes, I'm still talking about that).
Anyway, an interesting documentary, giving one an insight into the era's mentality. Probably one of the few times that we'll ever hear Kwajalein mentioned.
