[StartQuote] Hi Tim, I looked through the unofficial Squadron 16 Unit History written by Chief Al Piotter. I obtained a copy of it from Cele (his widow) when she visited the PT658 back in 2008. Sometime in Dec 1944 both RON13 (among other was PT77) and RON16 worked together in the Phillipines and the 77 boat is mentioned a few times. I took photos of the pages and posted them below for you to read through. It is only a few sentences here and there spread out on 7 pages of the manuscript. The last page mentions a "LT Stillman" as riding on the PT77, I couldnt find any mention of your father in laws name. The bottom of the page tells of LT Stillmans capture and execution by the Japanese. I hope you can read this ok. Also I had a couple of photos of PT77. One from ebay and the other from Norman Freidman's book "Small US Combatants" Jerry PT658 [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00767.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00768.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00769.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00770.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00771.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00772.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/DSC00773.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/PT77victorchunsbook.jpg[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Jerry%20Gilmartin/PT77underwaycolor.jpg[/image] If you have trouble reading this try zooming in on your computer display screen.
