I remember William Holden In "The Bridges at Toko Ri". He was playing the part of a USNR F 9 Banshee (twin engine jet fighter bomber) pilot called to duty in the Korean war and the bridges were across the Yalu river separating N. Korea and China. Wikipedia lists the movie script and the basis for the movie which is worth reading in a separate listing about Lt (jg) John Koelsch.
He had the jitters about not making it back from his last flight (which he was preparing to take...unknown to him at the time) as he stood in he galley drinking a cup of coffee and glancing over at a tv where a football game was playing in LA, CA......his thoughts.....what the heck am I doing here...... In the background you could hear the steam catapults launching aircraft......made a heck of a lot of noise....which would launch him later in the day on the fateful mission.
If the enlisted bunks were below the cat. don't know how they got any sleep when launching.
