[StartQuote] Al, I did a little research on this subject a few years back. The only book I could find that was even closely related is Commando! The M/Z Unit's Secret War Against Japan, By A. B. Feuer. M/Z was an Australian Commando unit, not OSS. But of interest is the fact that all insertions were done by USN submarines. This makes sense when you think of the distances of the Pacific Theater. I believe At Close Quarters mentions the 77 foot ELCOs reclasified as small boats and transfered to the Army as being used for intelllegence operations. But these reference appear to be hearsay rather than docuemented by primary sources. Honest opinion, I do not think PT boats in the Pacific Theater were heavily, if at all, used for Commando or intellegence operations. Bill Bill Smallshaw[EndQuote]
