[StartQuote] Travis . . . Victor Chun, is a author of three books on PT boats, and was one of the early author’s to create a typical PT Boat “Coffee Table Style” photo book. His first book (see photo), was a self published book back in 1976, it was 82 pages black & White on Bond Text paper. Its been seen on eBay selling as a rare book big bucks. His second book “American PT Boats of World War II” in 1997 (140-pages by Schiffer Publishing), like Frank Jonhson’s “United States PT Boats in World War II book kind of set the early standard for quality photo books on the subject of American PT boats and became a great reference book. He then authored another book his third book as Volume Two of “American PT Boats of World War II”, 2011 (218-pages by Schiffer Publishing). This book was an extension of his second book, and it included some great drawings by some guy by the name of Dick Washichek, or Richard J. Washichek, can’t place him, hmmm. However, several drawings are also included by notable PT boat graphic artist, such as, Al Ross and Wayne Traxel.
A little bio: Victor immigrated to this country as a very young boy from Hong Kong. Then later as a young man graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After college he was employed by Hugh Aircraft Company, Culver City, California, where he retired from in 1989. Victor still lives in west Los Angeles area at the age of 93. [EndQuote]
