[StartQuote] In an interesting note about a skipper that went from the warm waters of the Pacific to the other side of the world...just in time for D-Day! William F. 'Bud' Liebenow, who had been skipper of the PT-157 in the Pacific from Nov 1942 to Nov 1943, was suddenly transferred by Commander Bulkeley to the ETO. After riding with the British on their PTs getting familiar with the general operations in the area, Liebenow was given command of the PT-199. Liebenow was close into the beach areas on D-Day and rescued many sailors off the sunken destroyer USS Corry.

His wife Luck is anxious to look up this web-page herself! [EndQuote]
