Le fait débute par un rappel historique. Il évoque les controverses liées au Général William Mitchell, pionnier de l'aviation militaire entre 1919 et 1936, année de sa mort. Il militait pour le développement d'une aviation ayant des bombardiers, mais sa hiérarchie croyait en la supériorité de la marine de guerre. En 1925, il fut même rétrogradé comme colonel.

The film begins with Donald Duck, flush with the contemporary patriotic spirit present with the United States' full entry into World War II, dancing to a patriotic song. A radio announcer tells about the new patriotic spirit and asks Donald if he is willing to do his part. Donald fervently asserts his loyalty and begs to know how best to show it. His enthusiasm fades when the radio announcer advises he pay his income tax promptly. However, the announcer changes Donald's mind by stressing the country's need for resources to aid the war effort.

Most of the film is taken up with a short play in which a young pilot, portrayed by Ronald Reagan, is ordered on reconnaissance missions of the Pacific and encounters another plane which he can't tell is friendly or not. This plot is interspersed with animated segments illustrating the physical characteristics of the Japanese Zero and how it can be distinguished from an American plane.

Jugée trop « compatissante » envers les japonais, et coupée au montage par l’État-Major américain, cette reconstitution hautement réaliste reçut néanmoins l’Oscar® du meilleur documentaire en 1943.

The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of war time restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as "the Fighting Lady", although she was later identified as USS Yorktown. A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown's sister ship USS Ticonderoga.
