WHO IS THIS GUY “ ? ? ? “
It appears he is trying to explain how torpedos were launch by PT 109.
But, but, I don’t think Cliff Robertson, by his expression, is buying it, . . . he is probably thinking there is no way, they are launched by hand in to the air . . . . .

I believe that is Mr. Rogers Dick, explaining to Cliff how planes dropped the Mark 13 aerial torpedo. Also shown is a torpedo supply barge designed to rearm seaplanes.

Jeff . . .
I’m not sure, In my “Neighborhood” Mr. Rogers wore a sweater. But, Diamond Dan now, he use to wear a suit coat and skinny ties. Yeah, that might be Diamond Dan! If you look closely, he is hiding his left hand where he wears those fancy diamond watches and rings, or maybe, just maybe he was simply playing pocket-pool! Hmmm, maybe Cliff noticed that and that explains his facial expression.
Who is this guy ? ? ? ?
Maybe some day we could find the back story to this Promo photo?
Diamond Dan ? ? ? ? ?
Every once in a while I run across this photo and always try to post it - just for some fun, and to tease Diamond Dan one of our local PT boat experts.

Cliff was in awe. He wanted to hang out together on the Promo Tour, but I told him I was busy,

Jeff - It came back with some broken deck fittings and a check for $3000. I called that fair, under the circumstances.
Cliff turned out to be a good guy. (You never know, with actors - lol)
