Thanks to board member Dave Buck (from Down-Under), I have updated the "Free PT Document" pages with three new .PDF files he donated for all to download and enjoy. He's been researching the Higgins boats at the U.S. National Archives (from a distance) and order copies of over a 130 pages of various information/data. these photocopied pages have been scanned, assembled and saved as downloadable .pdf files.

Navigate to the document page using the click links above in the mast head " Free PT Documents ".

Below is a real, and I mean real short descriptors of the three files.

Enjoy all, and Thanks Dave . . . .

Nice, thanks David! And thanks Dick for putting them up.

I like the profit Higgins asked for moving the BK antenna, $1.16 per boat, along with $4.80 labor.
