The film (originally titled "Fighting Lady") is a 1944 documentary film produced by the United States Navy and narrated by Lieutenant Robert Taylor USNR. The film chronicles the exploits of the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) (unknown in the film) during World War II in her first major operations after her commissioning in 1943. Due to wartime restrictions, the carrier's name was disguised as "Battle Lady". ("Fighting Lady" was a famous nickname for Yorktown, just as "Lady Lex" was for Lexington, "Big E" for Enterprise, etc.)
The life of the crew is documented from July 1943 to June 1944, from the passage through the Panama Canal, attacks on Marcus, Kwajalein, Truk and Tinian Islands and ending with the famous "Marianas Turkey Shoot", the air portion of the battle. in the Philippine Sea, when American pilots shot down almost four hundred Japanese Zeros, while suffering only twenty-two losses.
The film included color footage shot with “pistol cameras” mounted directly on aircraft guns during the battle. This gives the film a very realistic feel, with the chronological progression of the ship and crew reflecting the experiences of the sailors and pilots as they progressed from recruits to the rigors of military life. It contains rare footage of A-24 Dauntlesses, TBF Avengers, Hellcats and other aircraft in action. The maps illustrate the movements of the Pacific Fleet and its interaction with the Japanese.
The film emphasizes the adage that war is 99% boring. We see footage of everyday life on board the ship, from the sailors stuck on command duty to the crews in charge of arming and fueling the planes and the pilots who flew them.
The Fighting Lady won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1945.
