Reference books on pt boat's. i see slight criticism of some pt boat books on other websites that i think are the best books that i have, so i guess what you may be looking for depends on your interests and whether you are looking for riveting stories or research on the people, the companies, the armament, general world war ii events, or the boats themselves, or indeed in my case mostly just.
