The story

Aboard an aircraft carrier near the coast during the Korean War, Commander Collier is in control. When asked about how he first handled his job, he remembers World War II. In flashback form, Collier recounts the war in the Pacific, working flight operations on the carrier and preparing a group of fighter pilots for the tough fight to come against the Japanese, including the amphibious invasion of the island of Leyte and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history.
