“Men of the Fighting Lady” is a Korean War drama focused on U.S. Navy pilots flying carrier-based missions. Released just a year after the war ended, it’s framed by narration and mission-based stories meant to honor their courage and sacrifice. While it delivers on aerial footage and patriotic tone, it leans more toward tribute than gripping storytelling, more admiration than entertainment.
