Jeff;
Nice!!! I especially like the PT 111 and PT 112 onboard USS Tallulah(AO 50) photos, I always thought this was a series, but the experimental camo test is awesome.
I don't know if it is part of your list Also photo NH 100912 is a close up of PTC stern(if this is the same photo set I remember, it is PTC 12).
Take care,
TED

Glad you enjoyed them Ted! I liked the 111-112 shots too. And the color "A well - Tatooed Pt Boat Crewman", I have a small version of it but this one is glorious! I should probably change my 1:1 tracer / AP ratio on my .50 render... bleh.
The 109 stern shot was most welcome too!
