B & W old flic with Gary Cooper (I believe) , about Naval aviator who pushed for the development of the Aircraft Carrier against intense inter- and intra-service rivalry, as well as Congressional budget-cutting.

They used to show it a lot but no more.

Some of these old -and maybe old-fashioned military movies seem to warm my geezer heart. Different America then --it seems.

Although--rather in a tragic way--people are staring to look up, rather then askance, at the military.

not that one , but I have watched some on discovery channel about the history of aircraft carriers.

As small as those first carriers were you would have to have a big pair'o'nards. Those were dang small runways.

The first --and maybe the second, were retro-fitted ships with a tiny deck added on. YIPES !

Took a while to build from scratch.
