Hopefully, someone on the Message Board will give us a review of "Volume VI: Timeline 1942." It has a neat color illustration on the cover of PT 59 in it's gunboat configuration.

With all due respect to Mr. Hinds's comprehensive historical efforts, my primary PT interests are the PTO U.S. 77' and 80' Elcos, particularly of the early Guadalcanal/Russells/Rendova/New Guinea era, so I'm interested in this volume and perhaps it's follow-up, "Volume VII: Timeline 1943."
