Hello Everyone. A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you out there. I hope the Holiday Season is everything that you hoped for and more!! Anyway, this may be a strange request, since I cannot track it down myself. When I first heard of the PT Boat Museum I used to receive their newsletters. This is way back in 1970,s. I came accross a photo there of a group of 4 or 5 PT boats idling along. The caption I cannot remember, but it was taken during the time of the Phillipine Islands recapture, and I believe it said something about awaiting an air attack. This picture has stayed in my memory since I saw it. This is not the well known photo that shows a few PTs and some ships being bombed. I once found this picture, and had it downloaded. But my computer got mesed up and I lost it, and cannot find it now. Sorry my descrition is not any better. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I have gone thru the photos in Photo Bucket, and did not see it. Once again, thanks for the ggreat work you do. And Merry Christmas, and God bless us all, every one!! (Sorry, could not resist!!)

Louis,

I seem to remember such a photo, maybe taken prior to the Battle of Surigao Straights in the Philippines.

There is a photo of two PTs idling in Leyte Gulf, with shipping being attacked in the background, on page 391 of At Close Quarters - PT Boats in the United States Navy, the official history of the PTs.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I have seen that photo, but it is not the one I was looking or. The one I want is a group of 4 or 5 boats just idling off the island. As I said, something in this picture caught my memory, and I would just like to find it again. I will keep looking. I found it once, I will find it again. Thanks for the help. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Louis - I may have your picture (at least the caption is right). What is your email address?
