Air Force by Howard Hawks. It was propaganda alright, and not even good propaganda. The anti-Japanese stuff seemed over the top as it is, but the way that they had a "big moment" (like a take-off) every few minutes really drove home how much a booster this flick was meant to be.
Action in the North Atlantic was also a war movie, but handled its subject more deftly.
