The book is even better. Left out of the movie is a Navy pilot that had gone to college for animal husbandry (wanted to be a dairy farmer in Wisconsin, if I remember right). He flew Dauntless and SBD2 diver bombers and was one of the first to fly Hellcats for ground attack. He wasn’t John Basillone, but he was pretty awesome.
