[StartQuote] Hi Dave. Thanks for the good words about my book. I did not find any "official" documentation about the 109 being painted green prior to JFK. Such an issue was most likely more of a routine administrative matter and not be something that would be recorded in the logs and actions reports. The navy person at the National Archives told me that none of the administrative files for the PT boat squadron in the South Pacific exist anymore. He thinks those documents may have been destroyed after the war. I did, however, find at least one reference to the boats going from grey to green. At the moment, I cannot remember specifically where, it may have been in some of Bryant Larson’s recollections - but nothing official. Like you mentioned, the exact timing may never be known for sure. John D.[EndQuote]
