Quote from Betty Gallagher

Right in the middle of the movie, a group of kamikazes flew over and one of them landed on the USS Randolph—this was our first touch of war.

We were about five hundred miles from England when we got attacked. We knew we weren't going to make it. We got an anti-aircraft shell stuck in the plane.

— Frank Horsch
