I would like to know if anyone has a photo of the type of 37mm cannon that was on the deck of PT-109 before she was destroyed. As you know I am having an oil painting done, depicting the moment of impact, when she was hit by the Japanese destroyer. The artist, Robert Voorhees has requested this from me. Any help would be great................

If you google 37mm M3 Anti Tank Gun you'll find more photos than you'll know what to do with.

Frank,

I sent a bunch of M3 37mm gun detail pictures I had to you...

Hopefully, the second "a" in the "comcaast" part of your email address was a typo...if not, I'll send them again...
