My grandfather fought on a PT boat during WW2. He served first in the Aleutians and then in the Pacific, fighting the Japanese. Unfortunately he died when I was young, and was largely unwilling to discuss his experiences while he was alive. I want to learn more about what that was like.
Does anyone have suggestions for good books that deal either specifically with the topic of PT boats, or that have a section that covers them? Thanks in advance.
Devil Boats; The Pt War against Japan is one I have read that provides a general history and some anecdotal accounts of the PT boat war. While poking around the web, inspired by your question I came upon At Close Quarters by Admiral Bulkley available complete online http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/CloseQuarters/index.html#index I will start reading this tomorrow
