PT Boats of WWII an outstanding read and source material
This book is an excellent reference for anyone wishing to know about one of the least understood branches of the Department of the Navy, a must for all Navy type's. My grand-father served on PT-108 of Squadron "Ron-5" in the Southwest Pacific theater from 1942 through 43 until his severe wounding forced his medical honorable discharge. As with most WWII vets they seldom if ever talk about the job they had to do. This book helps the family's to get a glimpse into what they the very few endured for their country. It also serves as a wonderful source reference for historians and modelers alike.
My dad had a tiny part in higgins pt boats (we built some of the plywood used on boat 5/8” mahogany ) here at IPIK .
This work is a real rememberance to my family.
