Trivia

After Van Johnson brings in a blind pilot and lands safely on the carrier, he mutters "I should have found a home in the Army". In Battleground, he mutters "I found a home in the Army". See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When the squadron leader ejects early in the movie, the scene switches to a slow motion shot of an actual ejection. The plane is all silver and most definitely not a black F9F Navy Panther jet. See more »
