French title: Escadrille panthère
Starring:
Van Johnson (Lieutenant (jg) Howard Thayer)
Walter Pidgeon (Commander Kent Dowling)

The Men of the Fighting Lady was based on the novels The Case of the Blinded Pilot by Cmdr. Harry A. Burns and James A. Michener's The Forgotten Heroes of Korea, and details life aboard the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany. The film's high point is the factually depicted scene where Thayer (Johnson) talks in a blinded Navy F9F Panther pilot (played by Dewey Martin) for a landing.
