The old hands aboard this forum will know this already, but for the recently-joined members who may not be aware of these two highly interesting books I thought I'd mention them:
Andruss, Frank J., Sr. Building the PT Boats. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Nimble Books LLC, 2005. (Mostly rare photographs depicting the factory building of the three PT boat manufacturers with lengthy supporting text & captions. Recommended.)

Andruss, Frank J., Sr. PT Boats Behind The Scenes. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Nimble Books LLC, 2011. (Mostly rare photographs depicting the maintenance personnel and support facilities behind the front lines with lengthy supporting text & captions. Recommended)

Thanks so much Drew, Nimble has told me the book "Building the PT Boats " is the best seller for them.
