AV-FLICKS - New thread

Actually trying to track down the name of a war move starring Van Johnson (again) and June Allyson in which the main character wrestles with a choice in careers between physician and aviator. He ends up stuck aboard a disabled PBY floating in the Pacific and reminiscing about his past decisions. During one of these intervals, he is seen in his capacity as a Test Pilot demonstrating a Stinson L-I 'Vigilant' to military observers. A friend at our local field has just purchased an L-I project and I'd like m to see the footage. Mindful that this is a 50' span 'Giant Cub' flying in about a 25 knot wind, the demostration is well worth seeing! Does anyone know this film?
