See a movie called 'Dive Bomber' for 1941 footage of USS Enterprise


The Michael Curtiz-directed film "Dive Bomber," (1941), starring Errol Flynn, Fred MacMurray and Ralph Bellamy, has a few scenes of Navy aircraft landing on and taking off from the USS Enterprise. In fact, the film has lots of flight scenes, though most of them take place on or over the Naval Air Station at North Island, San Diego. The movie is in Technicolor, and all the flight scenes look great on DVD. Filmed sometime in 1941, before all hell broke loose for the Pacific fleet.
