Wing and a Prayer Page #6

Report to

the squadron duty offcer

as his assistant

until further orders.

Yes, sir.

Secure.

[Whistle]

Attention, all hands.

Movies for tonight...

Alice Faye and Betty Grable

in Tin Pan Alley.

The way

this navy operates,

we'll be expected to take

one look at their gams and run.

Oh, uh, Cunningham,

I talked

to your commanding offcer.

You go up tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

That's all.

Be sure the plants

get plenty of sun,

and keep

this excelsior moist.

The chemicals in the water

will do the rest.

In a few weeks we'll have

some nice, fresh tomatoes,

lettuce, celery,

onions.

Yes, sir.

Arnie Devlin

was flying my wing.

Arnie Devlin

was flying my wing.

He got the frst Zero.

The others dove past,

came up under my tail.

I got one. Then two more

came head on.

I couldn't escape them,

so I fred on them.

One exploded...

the other fell in flames.

Do they bust up

when they're hit?

They fall apart.

There's so much magnesium,

they just can't take it.

Here's where

you made the mistake.

This type of cruiser

has three stacks.

There's

a slight wrinkle,

very little

superstructure amidship.

It didn't show on the quarterdecks.

I see it now.

Look how widely-spaced they are.

Very little superstructure.

Have you noticed?

How about

a little acey-deucy?

Sure.

It goes through

this little gadget.

That's

the sound exciter.

Please.

We won't get anywhere this way.

Will we?

Go away.

Go away. Go.

Come on,

you boot camp fanatics.

We want to see

Betty Grable.

Uh-uh.

Is there

something wrong?

You're diving

at 15,000 feet...

angle, 45-degree,

air speed 380,

and you release a 1,000-pound bomb

at 2,000 feet.

I've got to fgure the effect

of gravity and air resistance.

Gravity's

got nothing to do

with the forward motion

of a projectile.

Say, you're right.

I've been right

for 35 years.

"Dearest lover boy,

how I wish

we could meet in person.

We could have

some swell times together."

What are you doing?

Come on, give me.

A welterweight.

I can train down,

can't I?

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

A doll.

There!

Let's see

the picture now.

Shall we?

Yeah,

let's see it.

Come on.

All right, all right.

Pipe down.

Whoopsie-daisy.

He's the sheik of Araby

His faithful wives

are we

But life

is such a ball...

[Whistling And Jeering]

The flm broke.

We can't help that, can we?

[Whistling And Jeering]

Go back

to boot camp!

Stand by

for emergency signal.

Stand by

for emergency signal.

Come on now, men.

Patience, patience!

I'm ready.

Aw, look at that.

It's upside down!

Notify the escort

we're changing course.

0-3-4 true.

Speed 22 knots.

Signal Bridge.

Send the following message...

Course 0-3-4 true.
