Hello Everyone

I was looking to see if anyone had any good photo's of the 40mm set up on PT 59. I have some 59 photo's with one 40mm shot, which is a close up of the weapon. I wanted something that shows it from a bit farther away, maybe a side view, showing the boat port or starboard.

FRANK;
THE PHOTO IN DONAVANS BOOK, WHICH SHOWS THE 40MM ON THE STERN, IS PROBABLY THE BEST VIEW, OF 59'S 40 MM'S.

Frank: Let me know if you don't have the '43 drawings of the 59 in GB configuration.
