[StartQuote] Might I suggest looking into the the "Outstanding" book by Historian and Master Model Builder Bridgeman H. Carney. His amazing book, First-Up, chronicles the actions of Skipper Lt(jg) William F. 'Bud' Liebenow of PT 157 Aces 'n' Eights which was the boat that was sent to rescue Lt. Jack Kennedy and his crew after their run-in with the Jap can. The following is taken from the book First-Up. Skipper Bud Liebenow was transferred, with priority orders, to the European theater at the end of 1943 and performed OSS drop offs and pick-ups of agents along the German held French coast. He was given command of PT 199 the day before D-Day and was at the front on D-day. The 199 rescued sailors from the USS Corry, which was hit by German shore fire and sank. Bud was awarded the Silver Star for actions on the PT 157 in the Solomons and the Bronze Star for actions in Europe. I hope this will give you and additional idea for your project. [EndQuote]
