I'm familiar with the information in Jane's. Is there anything else out there? The countries I know of that had US built PT boats are/were Sweden, Norway, Russia, West Germany, Italy, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Argentina, Cuba, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom and Egypt. << Chip, I assume you are interested in the Elcos and Higgins PT boats. Try this website. http//www.ptboatworld.com/index.htm I have all of T. Garth Connelly's PT Boats put out by Squadron. They are pretty informative but follow the "In Action" format and are consequently short (60-70 pages). The Vosper PT Boats in Action is particularily interesting as quite a number of them were built in the US during WWII and subsequently exported to our allies, particularily the USSR. Hope this helps. Russ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRADERS, ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICEBOARD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) From Randy Short Subject CW Tirpitz book For the month of May, we are offering the CW Tirpitz book for $13.50 + S&H, $2 for book rate or $4.50 Priority mail. Also have good prices on Profile Morskies and AJ Press-getting new orders ready on those. Let me know if you want some (and want to save some money). You don't need to preorder anything from White Ensign, we can get it for you and again save a buck or two. Plus you don't need to go across the pond to get their naval paints, as S&S always carries them. Unfortunately, at the end of May we will be raising our paint price to $2.40/tin as WEM has raised their prices, and the exchange rate is murder. We are now ordering L'Arsenal items for people, as well as the Loose Cannon ships both east and west. We are in bad shape as a business, so we can't arry inventory on the photoetch, etc. The WEM paints, CW and WR Press books;, and our color chips are always in stock. I have one copy of the CW Salem left-$10 + shipping. It is out of print. Anything you want that we can order, you will save money by buying from us. Also, try our message board.
